Second Approach to Kiln Casting

I have created slabs with cut out shapes for another method of kiln casting.

This is a second approach to kiln-casting with molds. Instead of making plaster molds, the slabs will serve as a mold for the glass to slump through.

Here, I will use the slabs as molds to slump glass on top of. Once I have bisqued the slabs, I applied kiln wash to two of the slabs to test if it prevents the glass from sticking to the ceramic mold.






Setting up the molds: Here, I have cut the glass to the proper size of the mold. The glass is placed on top of the mold.




(white pieces have been applied with kiln wash)

The molds are set up in the kiln on stilts so that the glass has enough room to slump down
