Create supports, pins, holders, and other kiln-fired components with Kemper HTW High Temperature Wire. Designed for ceramic projects requiring wire support at elevated temperatures, this specialty steel wire can be fired up to cone 5.
The 17-gauge wire is suitable for applications including bottle sagging, bead supports, special stilts, element pins, kiln furniture, and cone holders, giving ceramic artists and kiln technicians a versatile material for custom firing setups and projects.
Each package contains a 10-foot coil of nickel-free high-temperature steel wire.

Wire Designed to Go Into the Kiln
Ordinary craft wire isn't intended to withstand ceramic firing temperatures. Kemper HTW is specifically made for projects requiring wire support inside a ceramic kiln, with a stated firing range of up to cone 5.
That makes it useful for ceramic applications where the wire itself needs to remain part of the firing setup rather than being removed before the piece enters the kiln.
Build Custom Supports & Kiln Accessories
The 10-foot coil can be formed as needed for a range of specialized ceramic applications. Use it for bead supports, custom stilts, element pins, cone holders, kiln furniture, bottle-sagging projects, and other situations requiring high-temperature wire.
Because its maximum rating is cone 5, firing requirements should be checked before using the wire in higher-temperature ceramic processes.
