Kiln schedules generated
A practical path
Start with your project. Leave with a plan.
The designer turns a handful of studio decisions into a schedule you can inspect, change, and keep. No spreadsheet setup required.
02
Firing profile
Choose the result you want.
Compare available profiles such as full fuse, tack fuse, slump, and fire polish, with reference temperatures and plain-language descriptions.
03
Review & export
Read the whole journey.
Inspect the segment table and firing curve. Edit the values for your kiln and project, then download CSV or PDF.
Inside the app
Your kiln. Your judgment.
Published manufacturer guidance shapes the first curve. It cannot account for every kiln, glass arrangement, or desired finish.
Check and adjust the rates, target temperatures, and holds against your equipment and project. Test with your own kiln before relying on a schedule for an important piece.
Firing monitor
Follow the plan while the kiln fires.
Start the browser-based monitor from your finished schedule. It traces the planned curve, shows elapsed and remaining time, and estimates which segment you are in.
How it works
Your firing timeline, in view.
- Start when you start firing.The monitor follows the schedule's rates, targets and holds, with a moving point on the planned curve.
- Get segment alerts.We'll send you notifications at segment transitions when you enable browser notifications and keep this browser session active. Chimes play when audio is permitted.
- Move with your kiln.Pause or resume the estimate, or use Skip Segment to move the monitor to the next planned stage when your actual firing has already moved on.
Especially useful without a digital controller—but not a temperature reading.
The monitor is a clock-based estimate, not a connection to your kiln. For a manually controlled kiln, it offers a useful sense of approximately where you may be in the schedule; verify the actual kiln and glass yourself. Notifications are reminders, not safety alarms.
A paper copy for the studio
Printed. Keep it beside your work.
The PDF export puts the firing segments, reference points, curve, and a space for studio notes on the page. This example uses the first page of the supplied Fruit Bowl schedule—not invented schedule numbers.
Keep a printout beside your project and mark it up as you work. The browser monitor follows an estimated timeline while you're firing.
Good to know
Before you fire.
Does this control my kiln?
No. The designer prepares a schedule for you to review and use with your own kiln controller. The Firing Monitor follows an estimated timeline; it is not live temperature telemetry or a safety device.
Can I mix different glass manufacturers?
The app builds manufacturer-specific schedules. Select one glass system for a project and follow the maker’s compatibility and firing guidance. Do not assume glasses from different systems are compatible.
Will the starting schedule work for every project?
No. Published guidance is a starting point. Kiln behavior, glass, thickness, arrangement, and the result you want all matter. Review the schedule, use your judgment, and test with your own kiln.
Do I need an account or install?
No account or installation is required to use the browser-based designer. Download a PDF or CSV if you want a copy for your studio records.
