“Cone Art Kilns was founded, like a lot of companies, from necessity. When Tucker’s Pottery Supplies, Cone Art’s parent company, opened in 1975 we purchased kilns from companies based in the U.S. Around 1980 we started also working with a small kiln company based in Ontario, Canada. That company suddenly closed and we began a mission to do this ourselves.

The main kiln builder for the kiln company that went out of business, was a brilliant man named Kent Van Deventer and he agreed to come and work with us. Kent had a lot of experience in hands on manufacturing of just about anything. He designed and built all of our machines for building kilns…..several of which, we still use to this day. From machines that would cut and groove bricks, to element winders, lid and floor slab cutting equipment – it was all made from scratch. I often think that there would be no Cone Art Kilns without Kent.

We decided that we would not be able to compete with the U.S. based companies unless we built a better product. We proceeded to make improvements on what was considered standard at the time and we quickly developed a following throughout Canada and the U.S. Those improvements to standard North American kiln design have made Cone Art Kilns appealing overseas, as our kilns were seen as a more European / industrial style. We now have distributors in Australia, India, China, South Korea, Sweden, as well as all over North America.

It’s been quite a journey, and we are proud of the progress we’ve made and the work we’ve done.”
