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 4-1/2" high, 3" diameter.

 First project created by Delphi artist Roy Kapp using stringers. Second and third project by artist Lisa Vogt.

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.

Pros : Easy to figure out how to set it up
Cons : Making sure the kiln paper covers completely. After firing, there was what look like it had been burned, eventhough there was no glass touching the mold.
Other Thoughts : I was not happy with the final results after slumping. It looked really cool, but the glass strips melted all the way down to the kiln shelf. Fortunately, I put kiln wash on the shelf. I checked to see if I didn't use the same slumping schedule as I usually have, and I did. It ended up being a really cool piece, but not what I wanted to happen. And that was a disappointment.

Wild Shape Glass Candle Holders
Aug 11, 2010
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. 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
