Product Description

Beautiful drapes with feet to stand on!
Creating a bowl with a glass foot reminiscent of a blown glass vessel has never been easier. This innovative system allows you to cast a glass foot that is easily paired with the popular Starfire Drape Mold. Draping mold produces a surprisingly large bowl with six gentle waves that ripple around the perimeter.

To get started simply fill the foot mold with your favorite glass scrap or frit and fire according to the supplied firing schedule. Once the foot is cast, use the included fiber rings while firing your drape. Cast foot is approximately 3-1/4" in diameter. Mold Bundle includes Starfire drape mold, foot casting mold, 3 sets of pre-cut fiber rings, and complete instructions. 

Starfire Drape Mold measures 12" x 4" high. Foot casting mold measures 4" in diamter by 1-3/4" deep. Finished bowl and foot when fused together measures 12" in diameter × 7" deep.

Creating a drape bowl is simple:

  • Cut one or 2 glass disks 11″ in diameter then decorate as you wish.
  • Fire the disk first to create a fused flat blank – use the schedule provided in the 12-page color booklet that is included with the mold.
  • Place your pre-fused flat blank on the Starfire draping mold and set the kiln controller to the recommended drape fire schedule to shape the bowl.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
