Fast Recovery, Dual Bead-Door Convenience
The Paragon Bluebird Glass Annealing Kiln is built for beadmakers, lampworkers, educators, and traveling instructors who need dependable annealing performance in a compact footprint. With a 20" W x 6" D x 3" H firing chamber, dual 2" x 10" bead doors, and ceramic fiber construction, the Bluebird delivers fast heat recovery and precise digital temperature control for soft glass bead annealing and flameworking workflows.
The two bead doors combine for a full 20" working width, with rare-earth magnets to hold them open during active sessions and thicker 1" ceramic fiber doors for better insulation. An adjustable slotted stainless steel mandrel holder supports up to 20 mandrels, and a built-in glass rod warmer on top of the kiln reduces thermal shock when transitioning between rods.
Included with every order
Sentinel TouchXpress touchscreen controller, instruction manual, and 2-year limited warranty. Also available in a 240V single-phase configuration — contact us for details.
