Olympic Kilns started manufacturing kilns
in Seattle, Washington and derives its name
from the Olympic Mountains. As the company
grew so did its product lines to include
electric, gas and glass kilns for the hobbyist,
production artist and manufacturer of finished
fired ware.
Some 20 years ago Olympic Kilns moved
to Georgia to be near its source of insulating
firebrick, which is only manufactured in
Georgia. The company resides in Flowery
Branch, Georgia located 45 miles northeast
of Atlanta and provides more models, styles
and types of kilns than any other kiln
manufacturer today.
