Seasonal Slumping Mold - Fall Maple Leaf Dish

Seasonal Slumping Mold -  Fall Maple Leaf Dish

An 8 inch fused glass ceramic mold provide many options to create a large Fall Maple Leaf Dish from fused glass. Use the indented areas to add darker frit colors to create depth.  Add Stringers to create the veining in the leaf. Use scrap glass and frit to create all the unique light or darker shades.   You can use a band saw to cut a perfect matching sheet of glass by placing your mold upside down and then tracing around it onto your sheet glass. What ever you decide, you can not go wrong because each maple leaf in nature is unique and different so go fusing and have fun with this mold!

Maple Leaf Dish Mold Dimensions:

8" x 8" x 0.50" Deep (20.3 x 20.3 x 1.27 cm)

USE:

1. We suggest elevating your mold at least a 1/2 inch off of the shelf for even heat distribution.
2. Smooth the mold surface with fine sandpaper so it accepts kiln wash uniformly.

TIP: When using to fire glass directly onto kiln shelf then we recommend the addition of use shelf paper on top of a primed kiln shelf like: 

Bullseye Thin Fire or Spectrum's Papyrus 

Try Primo Primer #41515 and applying it with a Haik Brush # 41601 
And using Ceramic Mold Cleaning Brush #41600 to remove spent primer after you are done firing.
