When it ships & how it's delivered · freight to your door

Paragon builds most kilns to order once your order is placed. We email your confirmed ship date and tracking.

  • Delivery is curbside with a liftgate. Have a helper or hand truck to move it inside.
  • Check the crate before you sign. Note any damage on the receipt and send us photos.

Authorized Paragon dealer · full factory warranty

Brand new and shipped direct from Paragon, so it carries Paragon's full factory warranty. If something goes wrong, call us and we handle the claim with the factory for you.

Warranty terms are in the Warranty and support section below.

Returns: request within 15 days, unused

Because kilns are heavy and often built to order, returns are limited, so we'd rather help you pick the right one up front:

  • Ask within 15 days of purchase or 2 days after delivery, whichever comes first. We issue a return authorization (RA).
  • It must be new, unused (beyond the factory test fire) and in its original packaging.
  • A restocking fee of at least 25% applies, up to 50% on custom, 3-phase or made-to-order units. Return freight is on the buyer unless we made an error.
  • Damaged in transit? Note it on the delivery receipt, send us photos and we'll help with the freight claim.

Read the full return policy

Will it work in my space? Power check

Most 240V kilns need their own circuit and the matching outlet, installed by an electrician. Homes are usually 240V; schools and commercial buildings are often 208V, so pick the voltage that matches your panel.

Send us a photo of your breaker panel or outlet and we'll confirm before your kiln is built: 470-264-3563 (call or text).

What’s included
The kiln, assembled and wiredParagon builds and wires it at the factory. It is built to be moved, so it arrives ready to roll out and fire.
Telescoping luggage carrier and built-in dollyThe wheeled dolly and its telescoping handle are part of the kiln, not an accessory. You wheel it to where you are working and fire it there.
Digital controller and Type-K thermocouple, factory-installedBoth are fitted and wired before the kiln ships. Paragon has been renaming its controller line and dealer listings are out of date at different dates, so we do not print a model name here. We confirm the exact controller with Paragon when you order.
Cord and plug — standard 120VIt runs from an ordinary 120V household outlet. Paragon does not publish the receptacle type for this model, so we confirm it before the order goes in.
Paragon limited warranty — one yearOne year from purchase on this model, per Paragon's published warranty schedule. Paragon does not warrant the Type-K thermocouple, so treat that as a wear part. Keep your proof of purchase.
Not includedThe Home Artist furniture kit is sold separately and is not in the crate. If you want it, it is two 10" round shelves, 1" square posts in three heights, three triangular bell stilts, six self-supporting Orton 06 cones, a pound of kiln wash and a Haik brush — ordered as its own item.

Common questions
What is raku firing, and why does this kiln only reach 1900°F?
Raku is a fast, low-fire technique where pots are pulled from the kiln while still glowing hot and placed into a reduction chamber with combustible material, producing the technique's signature crackle glazes and metallic surfaces. Raku glazes mature well below stoneware temperatures, so 1900°F is plenty for the technique — this isn't a kiln for firing stoneware or porcelain clay bodies to maturity.
Can I really plug this into a regular household outlet?
Yes — the Home Artist's standard configuration runs on a normal 120V household circuit, no electrician required. If you plan to fire it frequently, the optional SSR relay upgrade is worth considering for longer relay life. A 240V single-phase version is also available if you'd prefer to run it on a dedicated circuit.
How portable is this kiln in practice?
The Home Artist is built around a collapsible luggage-style carrier with wheels, so it rolls like a suitcase and folds down for storage between sessions. Many owners use it for backyard raku days, workshops, community classes, and outdoor demonstrations where a full-size studio kiln isn't an option.
What size pieces can I fire?
The chamber comfortably accommodates pieces up to the size of a 10" china plate. It's sized for the bowls, plates, and smaller sculptural forms typical of raku work, rather than large-scale pieces — those need a bigger studio kiln.
Is this a good first raku kiln for a beginner?
Yes. The Home Artist is one of the more accessible entry points into raku — it's plug-and-play on standard household power, includes a touchscreen controller with digital cone-firing capability, and doesn't require any electrical upgrades to get started. As an authorized Paragon dealer, Peach State Pottery backs it with the full manufacturer's warranty when registered within 30 days of delivery.
