Product Description
Colour de Verre Molds are the Simple Way to Cast Glass
Merge the age-old art of pate de verre glass casting with modern technology and contemporary design! Create pieces that are beautiful enough to stand alone or to incorporate into larger projects. The open, hollow design promotes even heating and cooling. Molds can be filled with glass frit, powder, or sheet glass.
Reusable mold casts 3 shapes from 2-1/4" to 2-5/8" in one firing, for the ultimate in convenience. Each firing produces a sweet starfish and two sea horses. One sea horse faces left, the other faces right. The fill weights are 7 to 9 and 12 to 18 grams. The mold measures 7" x 4" x 1". We suggest a cooler than usual firing temperature of about 1290-1310ºF (700-710ºC) for COE 96 and 25ºF (10ºC) hotter for COE 90.
