Best Answer

A glass kiln has heating elements on the top, as opposed to the ceramic kiln which has the heating elements around the sides. The glass kiln has molds for the glass to form to and the top heating elements aid in this sense.

It's not the element placement as much as the program used. A glass kiln needs to go down slowly for annealing.

Yes. However different clay and different glass are fired at a huge range of temperatures. Not all kilns will fire all glass or all clay. Low fired clay is often at 1800 F, high fired clay can be fired up to 2500 F. Glaze is a form of glass. You can't use a pottery kiln for blowing glass, however. Glass blowing requires three furnaces. Slumping or fusing work fine though.

Small note: In English as potters we say "fire" not "bake". Baking usually does not go above 550 F , some Pizza ovens go to 800 F but that is no where high enough for glass or pottery. When if is at the higher temperatures we call it a kiln and fire it. Unless we are being cute.

What is the Difference between glass and ceramics?

Technically, glass is a kind of ceramic, but when most people talk about ceramics, they mean clay that has been made very hot to cause the particles to bond together, leaving little spaces between them. During this process, the crystal structure of the clay does not change, and the particles do not actually melt. Common silicate glass is made of silicon dioxide and some other minerals, and the process melts these minerals together into a non-crystalline structure. Silicate glass can be transparent, but clay ceramics are not. Ceramics that are not glazed or otherwise treated to make them waterproof can also absorb gas or liquid (like water) into the spaces between crystals.
