Paragon Fusion 17 - Designed for Bottle Slumping, Perfected for Creative Glasswork
A premium square kiln with ceramic fiber lid and professional-grade performance
The Paragon Fusion 17 was born from a simple observation: glass artists love slumping bottles—but no kiln on the market was truly built for it. So we designed the Fusion 17 from the ground up as the first kiln specifically engineered for glass bottle slumping, while maintaining the flexibility needed for fusing, tack-fusing, and other creative glasswork.
Why own a kiln like this?
The Fusion 17 opens up endless possibilities for creative glasswork right from your own studio or home. Whether you’re transforming bottles into serving trays, creating fused glass panels, or experimenting with decorative art, having a dedicated kiln gives you full control over your process. You can work at your own pace, refine your firing techniques, and explore new ideas without depending on shared studio time or limited access to larger industrial equipment. A kiln like this is more than a tool—it’s an invitation to create whenever inspiration strikes.
Why choose the Paragon Fusion 17?
The Paragon Fusion 17 stands apart as the first kiln purpose-built for glass bottle slumping, combining thoughtful design with true accessibility. Its rectangular chamber was engineered to efficiently accommodate multiple bottles in a single firing, delivering consistent heat distribution for smooth, even results every time. This balance of space, performance, and precision makes it an ideal tool for both functional and decorative glass projects.
Running on a standard 120V household outlet, the Fusion 17 removes the need for special wiring or high-voltage circuits—making it perfect for artists working from home, classrooms, or small studios. Despite its compact power requirement, it maintains professional-level performance thanks to Paragon’s refined insulation design and durable construction.
Controlled by the intuitive Sentinel controller, the Fusion 17 offers effortless programming with customizable schedules and preset glass options, giving you complete command over each firing.
