Skutt kilns

In 1953, Ralph and Neil Skutt, father and son, manufactured the industry's first multi-sided hobby kiln in Olympia, Washington, under the name “Skutt & Sons”.

The introduction of this new lightweight construction revolutionized not only the pottery kiln business but the entire ceramics industry by bringing ceramics into the home.

Much has changed in the last 70+ years. Kiln companies have come and gone, new clay bodies and glazes are constantly being developed that require greater firing precision, and automatic controllers are rapidly replacing the once groundbreaking KilnSitter.

Over the years, Skutt has worked hard to meet the changing needs of our customers, but one thing that has remained constant is their strong commitment to manufacturing quality products and providing outstanding customer service.

They realize that every item placed in a Skutt kiln has value. It could be a child's horse that looks more like a dog or a master potter's ,000 sculpture. Both of these artists are counting on their kilns to do their job ... and they don't want to let them down.
