Pros : This pack has everything that you need to begin fusing glass at a great price. The glass is a beautiful sampling of bullseye products including dichro scrap. The kiln is very easy to learn and big enough to fire larger projects. I would recommend this kit highly to anyone wanting to invest in a new hobby.
|
Cons : I would have liked a sample of thinfire shelf paper to decide what I would prefer to use, shelf wash or thinfire.
|
| Other Thoughts : I have learned so much and I am having a great time creating beautiful glass pieces with this kit. The only drawback is that I like it so much that I am looking for a larger kiln now! |

Pros : I am very new to kiln work so the Studio in a Box was perfect to get me started. The included fusing book is great, very easy to understand and I am working my way through the chapters as "lesson plans". I would highly recommend this as a "beginner's kiln" since it has so much ability for me to advance my skills as I go.
|
Cons : The glass included could be more "mix & match" color compatible. I'm using these to learn as I create and only 4 of the 8 can be combined to make an attractive piece.
|
| Other Thoughts : I plan to set the kiln on 12" concrete blocks to make it easier on my back. |
| Feel like a Pro |

Pros : I felt like a Pro the first time I fired up my first fused piece. Easy to use and Delphi was a phone call away to help me with all my fusing projects. Friends and family now shop for gifts at my house. I've made pendants, plates, bowls and more... I've even been in local craft shows and made enough money to recover the cost of this amazing kiln. I would recommend this product to any beginner and with Studio In A Box you really do get everything you need to start creating professional pieces right away.
|
Cons : I made a platform for my EZ-Pro and raised the kiln up 17 inches. I found having the kiln at a higher height allowed for easier loading and unloading of pieces.

Pros : I'm very new to warm glass and was overwhelmed with all of the options. This set gave me everything I need to get started and also tools that I can use as my skills advance. The selection of glass is nice. I feel like I can really play with it and focus on learning skills without the pressure of making something with glass I selected on my own. The instructions with the kiln are wonderful.
|
Cons : The only con I can point to about this set is the fact that you cannot choose your own glass. It turned out to be a pro for me (see above) in the end.

Pros : I purchased this kit when I decided to get serious about warm glass. After taking a class locally, I was hooked! The big question was What is the best kiln to buy? Well, for the money this kiln is perfect! It comes with preset programs and the option to program on your own. The glass was a great assortment to allow all kinds of creative projects. The gloves, hook and glasses allow you to wonk the glass even when hot if you so desire. (I am working up to this step!) The book is interesting and an easy read. This kit is a great starter kit for anyone!
|
Cons : None.
