Once the plaster molds have set up, I dry them out in a heat box, so that all the moisture is removed from the plaster. These molds are now ready to be kiln-casted.
Measuring the cut out shape's volume in cubic inches, I am able to determine how much glass to use.
I have stilted a terracotta flower pot above the mold to drip or pour the glass into the mold. Once the glass reaches temperature, it will melt out of the hole at the bottom of the flower pot and drip into the mold.
