Product Description

Fireworks floral vase formers offer specially textured sides so that kiln wash or mold release adheres to the surface easily. Durable stainless steel molds can be reused many times. Measures 6-5/8" high, 3-1/2" diameter.

Experts Recommend Stainless Steel:
"In many ways, stainless steel is the perfect mold material. It is lightweight, difficult to deform, and able to last for a thousand firings or more."
    - Brad Walker, Contemporary Warm Glass

First and second project by artist Lisa Vogt. Third project created by Delphi artist Roy Kapp using stringers. Delphi Tip: Stainless steel molds require release like any other mold. Spray-on primers are fast and easy to apply, or you can use a traditional kiln wash. To use kiln wash, preheat your mold in the oven to 450°F, then apply by brushing on one even coat of wash.

Step 1 Cut a piece of glass in any wild shape or size you like. (This piece was just a leftover piece of glass from a stained glass window.) Step 2 Place a drape mold in the kiln. Since the piece of glass may run down to the shelf, it is best to have a piece of Fiber Paper under the mold. (I have used a bisque fired coffee mug for my mold. The glass will melt down around this mold so be sure to pick something were the sides go straight down or flare out, or the glass will break removing it from the mold.) Step 3 Drape a thin piece of Fiber Paper over the drape mold that is about the same size as the piece of glass. Step 4 Fire the glass at cone 017. Step 5 Wash the piece using a soft brush to remove

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.

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
