how to make fused and slumped glass - mountain platter

[maltuzar]

Can you use the same type clay to make a casting of lets say a figurine and then use that mold to slump glass?

@maltuzar I've used this low fire ceramic clay to make a flower type shape, by pouring crushed glass into the clay shape and then fusing it. I then slumped the glass over a different mold.  It is done in my "how to make fused and slumped recycled glass - alocasia lamp" video. I've never cast a figurine. For something that detailed and 3 dimensional, you may want to use kiln casting. Warmglass has a good summary of kiln casting here: warmglass . com/kiln_casting . htm

Very pretty glass, is that 90 Coe? 96? May I ask ?

@GlassyARTmuse The glass is Bullseye White, Orange, Deep Green Streaky - 90 COE from bullseyeglass . com

I've bought a bunch of their streaky glass color options and it's all beautiful!

What material did you use for the slumping ring?

@Alorse10 I used low fire clay for the slumping ring. I've been liking the wavy edges lately, so I cut wavy edges into it after it was fired. If I were to make the ring again, then I would shape the soft wet clay with wavy edges before firing it.
