Vitrigraph kiln for pulling glass stringers and rods
Our vitrigraph kiln is built for pulling glass rods, stringers and twisties, and for making mosaic elements and murrini slices. We design and make it in Poland. The raised design with an opening in the floor lets molten glass flow out by gravity, so you can shape it smoothly and safely.
Why choose our vitrigraph kiln?
A well-thought-out design for the right glass viscosity and safe work
Up to 1000°C
High-quality Kanthal A-1 coils bring the glass to working temperature quickly and keep the pull stable.
Opening in the floor
The specially designed chamber floor lets molten glass flow out precisely and makes it easy to fit crucibles or moulds.
Novus PID control
Precise temperature control stops the glass from overheating and keeps the right viscosity while you pull.

What can you make with a vitrigraph kiln?
Endless options for making your own glass components
Stringers and rods
Pull thin, even glass threads of different thicknesses to decorate fused and stained glass.
Murrini slices
Make multi-coloured glass canes that reveal striking mosaic patterns when sliced.
Twisties and spiral canes
Twist multi-coloured strands of thick glass by hand into unique spiral patterns.
Blending glass colours
Combine leftover glass with the same COE into new, one-of-a-kind colours.
