The standard Ikon V61 — a 61-litre, 1315°C stoneware kiln made by hand in Stoke-on-Trent. It's the workhorse of the Ikon range: a hardwired 15A version with the full 3.6kW of power for confident, repeatable firings.
Includes a free Ikon V61 furniture set (worth £159) — shelves and props ready for your first firing.
Free UK mainland delivery. Lead time is typically 8–10 weeks from order, hand-built to order in Stoke-on-Trent.
The Ikon V61 sits at the heart of Kilncare's top-loading range — same 61-litre chamber as the V61E and V61 GXR, but with the full 3.6kW driven through a hardwired 15A supply. If you've got an electrician lined up and want every ounce of performance the Ikon platform can deliver, this is the version to pick.
The extra power matters most when you're firing tightly packed loads of stoneware or porcelain. Ramp rates are quicker, top-end soaks are more reliable, and you've got real headroom at 1315°C for adventurous glaze work — reductions, crystallines, or anything that needs to sit confidently at cone 10. The chamber, lid, controller and warranty are identical to the rest of the Ikon family; the difference is what's behind the wall socket.
If you'd rather plug straight into a 13A socket, look at the V61 GXR (the high-efficiency plug-in version) or the V61E (the 1200°C plug-in for earthenware and mid-range stoneware). Not sure which one fits your studio? Call us on 01202 144 142 — we'll talk it through, no pressure either way.
The Ikon range uses Kilncare's GX high-efficiency insulation system — three layers of refractory and micropore brick that keep heat in the chamber where you want it. The result is faster firings, lower running costs, and a kiln body that's only warm to the touch even at peak temperature.
British-designed, 32 fully editable programs with 32 segments each. Up to 4-day delayed start, kWh display, power-failure recovery, and a keyboard lock. The optional WiFi upgrade adds the Kilncare GATEway app so you can watch a firing from the sofa or the studio next door.
Kanthal A1 elements (widely regarded as the best on the market), twin gas-sprung lid, lockable swivel castors, and a 304 brushed-stainless body. Every Ikon is hand-built by Kilncare in Stoke-on-Trent, with a 3-year warranty on all parts excluding elements.
Every Ikon V61 order from Kiln Crafts ships with a free V61 furniture set (3 shelves, 12 assorted props — worth £159) and free UK mainland delivery. We also add an extra shelf, so you can fire one more layer from day one, and send you our step-by-step first-firing walkthrough: plain English, no engineer's manual required.
Got questions about wiring, ventilation, lead times or which V61 variant is the right one for your studio? Give us a call on 01202 144 142 or email info@kilncrafts.co.uk — we'll talk it through honestly, no sales pressure.
Every Ikon V61 ships free across UK mainland with a 3-year warranty and a free furniture set worth £159.
Yes. The V61 draws 3.6kW at 15A, which is more than a 13-amp plug will carry, so it is supplied with a 2-metre cable to be wired onto its own circuit by a qualified electrician. If you would rather avoid that, the V61 GXR plugs straight in.
The same 61-litre chamber, different ceilings. The V61 runs at 3.6kW and reaches 1315°C but must be hardwired. The V61E runs at 2.9kW from a 13-amp plug and stops at 1200°C. Choose the V61 if you fire stoneware, the V61E if you fire earthenware.
Yes. It reaches 1315°C, which covers stoneware and most porcelain firing schedules with headroom to spare. The chamber is 41.6cm across and 44.5cm deep, so a full load of tableware goes in one firing rather than two.
Kilncare build seven Ikon models in Stoke-on-Trent, and they all share the same KCR32C controller and 3-year warranty. What actually changes between them is chamber size, top temperature, and whether you need an electrician.
We've put all seven side by side — chamber, power, supply, max temperature and price — so you can see the whole picture in one place: compare all seven Kilncare Ikon kilns.
