Kiln Size Calculator Firing Cost Calculator KilncareIkon V61 Top Load Pottery Kiln The standard Ikon V61 — a 61-litre, 1315°C stoneware kiln made by hand in Stoke-on-Trent. It's the workhorse of the Ikon range: a hardwired 15A version with the full 3.6kW of power for confident, repeatable firings. 61-litre chamber: Holds three shelves of mugs — around 30 standard pieces per load. 1315°C max: True stoneware and porcelain firings, with headroom to spare for crystalline and reduction-effect glazes. 3.6kW / 15A hardwired: The full-power Ikon V61 — faster ramp rates than the plug-in models, wired into a dedicated single-phase supply. KCR32C controller: 32 programs × 32 segments, 4-day delay start, optional WiFi upgrade for remote monitoring. Made in Stoke-on-Trent: Hand-built by Kilncare with Kanthal A1 elements, GX triple-layer insulation and 304 brushed stainless body.

Free UK mainland delivery. Lead time is typically 8–10 weeks from order, hand-built to order in Stoke-on-Trent. The Full-Power Ikon, Wired In for the Long Haul The Ikon V61 sits at the heart of Kilncare's top-loading range — same 61-litre chamber as the V61E and V61 GXR, but with the full 3.6kW driven through a hardwired 15A supply. If you've got an electrician lined up and want every ounce of performance the Ikon platform can deliver, this is the version to pick. The extra power matters most when you're firing tightly packed loads of stoneware or porcelain. Ramp rates are quicker, top-end soaks are more reliable, and you've got real headroom at 1315°C for adventurous glaze work — reductions, crystallines, or anything that needs to sit confidently at cone 10. The chamber, lid, controller and warranty are identical to the rest of the Ikon family; the difference is what's behind the wall socket. If you'd rather plug straight into a 13A socket, look at the V61 GXR (the high-efficiency plug-in version) or the V61E (the 1200°C plug-in for earthenware and mid-range stoneware).

Perfect If You Want To Fire stoneware and porcelain to a true 1315°C Get faster ramps than a 13A plug-in can deliver Run a serious home studio or small production setup Buy a kiln built to last 15+ years with element changes Have a kiln you can monitor from anywhere (WiFi controller upgrade available) What Makes the Ikon V61 Worth It GX triple-layer insulation The Ikon range uses Kilncare's GX high-efficiency insulation system — three layers of refractory and micropore brick that keep heat in the chamber where you want it. The result is faster firings, lower running costs, and a kiln body that's only warm to the touch even at peak temperature. KCR32C controller British-designed, 32 fully editable programs with 32 segments each. Up to 4-day delayed start, kWh display, power-failure recovery, and a keyboard lock. The optional WiFi upgrade adds the Kilncare GATEway app so you can watch a firing from the sofa or the studio next door. Built for the long run Kanthal A1 elements (widely regarded as the best on the market), twin gas-sprung lid, lockable swivel castors, and a 304 brushed-stainless body. Every Ikon is hand-built by Kilncare in Stoke-on-Trent, with a 3-year warranty on all parts excluding elements. Every Ikon V61 order from Kiln Crafts ships with a free V61 furniture set (3 shelves, 12 assorted props — worth £150) and free UK mainland delivery. Why Potters Choose the Ikon V61 "It's brilliant. The firing ramp is very accurate, and the insulation is mind-blowing. I love it when you meet people with a passion." — Keith Brymer Jones, judge on The Great Pottery Throw Down "I looked at every kiln in this size class before settling on the Ikon. The build quality is in a different league — it's clear every detail's been thought about." "Two firings in and the results have been spot on. Solid construction, easy controller, and the customer support has been first rate when I had questions."
