PARAGON FUSION7: Small, Smart, and Ready to Spark Your Creativity
The PARAGON Fusion7 is the perfect gateway into the world of fused glass. Compact and efficient, this round kiln is designed for artists working with small-scale projects such as pendants, earrings, coasters, bowls, and bracelets. Whether you’re layering glass, exploring slumping molds, or diving into the shimmer of dichroic sheets, the Fusion 7 provides dependable performance in a convenient size—ideal for home studios, classrooms, or limited spaces.
Why own a kiln like this?
Having your own glass kiln gives you total freedom to explore your creativity. There’s no need to send your pieces out for firing or wait for shared studio time. With the Fusion 7 at your side, you can experiment with layering, fusing, tack fusing, slumping, and more, all on your own schedule. It’s your personal lab for developing techniques, making personalized gifts, or even launching a small jewelry business.
Why choose the Paragon Fusion7?
The Fusion7 features a 14.38" wide x 6.5" deep round firing chamber with top-mounted elements for even heat distribution—perfect for uniform fusing results. The heating elements are secured in pinless grooves, which eliminate the need for metal pins and reduce maintenance. This smart design improves reliability and makes the kiln easier to keep clean.
The kiln is built from insulating firebricks: 2.5" thick in the walls and base, and a robust 3" thick firebrick lid. These materials store heat efficiently and help promote controlled cooling—especially helpful for thinner or smaller pieces that require gradual annealing.
A full-height 18" steel stand is included, raising the kiln to a comfortable loading level. The galvanized steel base plate reinforces the firebrick bottom and folds up around the sides to strengthen the overall chamber structure.
The Fusion7 is equipped with the SENTINEL digital controller, mounted on a sloped panel for easy access. This advanced controller allows you to create, save, and run custom firing schedules with precision. A heavy-duty Type-K thermocouple with protective sheath ensures reliable temperature readings. Other features include a lock-in lid support, peephole with tapered plug, and a louvered switch box with heavy-duty wiring.
Who is this kiln for?
The Fusion7 is ideal for hobbyists, glass crafters, and jewelry artists who want a reliable, compact kiln for small-format projects. It’s also a popular choice for schools and community studios that need durable kilns for frequent use. If you’re looking for your first glass kiln or a dedicated unit for fast, creative sessions, the Fusion7 delivers on performance and ease of use.
