Midwinter Update

The Calm Before the Christmas Storm.

 

Midwinter always brings a quiet pause to the year — a brief moment of stillness before the big Christmas rush begins. But behind the scenes, things have been anything but slow.

​

Over the past few months we’ve seen a strong surge in kiln orders, with studios, schools, and home potters all preparing early. Thanks to this increased demand, our current lead time is now back up to 12 weeks. If you’re planning a kiln for later in the year, now is the ideal time to secure your spot before the seasonal rush arrives.

​

On the element side, we’re fully stocked and ready to support any kiln. We carry Kanthal A1 wire from 24 gauge through to 10 gauge, covering the vast majority of element designs across the industry. Whether you’re running a Cobcraft, Elecfurn, Furnace Engineering, Skutt, or most other brands, we can supply or manufacture elements to suit. Every element we produce uses premium Swedish‑made Kanthal A1, ensuring long life, stable resistance, and reliable performance.

​

Midwinter is the perfect time to service your kiln, replace ageing elements, or plan ahead for the busy months to come. We’re here to keep your studio firing safely, efficiently, and without interruption.
