Olsen Kiln Kits are designed, patented and built by Frederick Olsen, author of "The Kiln Book"

All my kiln kits have been thoroughly tested, used and abused in colleges and production potteries before being nationally advertised and sold. My kiln kits will give you the performance, efficiency, quality and durability that I demand myself as a full time potter for over 40 years.

Since first designing and building the first Olsen Kiln Kits, my kilns have been sold to hundreds of clients in the US and throughout the world including Spain and Saudi Arabia.
