Skutt Ceramic Products, Inc. Information

Born and raised in the Pacific NW, Skutt Ceramic Products, Inc. is a family owned and operated business focusing on innovation and the needs of the customer. Founded in 1953, father/son team Ralph & Neil Skutt manufactured the industry’s first multi-sided hobby kiln in Olympia, WA under the name Skutt & Sons. Skutt Ceramic Products, Inc. has grown immensely from its pioneering role, designing a kiln that revolutionized hobby ceramics, to an industry leader. We manufacture high quality ceramic and glass kilns, and pottery wheels. We’ve worked hard to develop our reputation for superior quality and outstanding customer service over the years. Today, Skutt continues to grow. Third generation owner/President Jim Skutt embraces the founding philosophy and commitment to excellence his father Phil helped create over the past half-century. Our mission is “To help our customers, from artists to industry, make great things by supplying excellent products and personal service.” Much has changed over the last 60+ years. Kiln companies have come and gone, new clay bodies and glazes are developed that demand greater firing precision, and automatic controllers have replaced the once cutting-edge KilnSitter. Skutt has made molds, pottery wheels, gas kilns, vents…but our primary focus has always been manufacturing high quality electric kilns for artists, educators and hobbyists. Skutt kilns and wheels are made in America and sold all over the world to artists, manufacturers, schools and institutions. Skutt does not sell direct to the public. We have a network of over 200 distributors. We feel very strongly that our distributors are the backbone of the Ceramics and Glass industries and we should do everything we can to support them. Throughout the years, Skutt has worked hard to meet the changing needs of our customers, and the one thing that has remained constant is our fierce dedication to manufacturing quality products and providing outstanding customer service.
