6" Fluted Slumping Mold

The 6 inch Fluted Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise is a ceramic slumping form that shapes a pre-made round glass blank into a fluted dish. The mold measures 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall. Place a round fused blank on top of the mold, heat the kiln, and gravity draws the softened glass down into the fluted ridges, giving the finished piece a sculpted, ridged profile.

Like all ceramic kiln molds, this one is COE agnostic. Use it with COE96, COE90, or other compatible fusible glass, as long as you match the firing schedule to your specific glass. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the 6 inch Fluted Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a round glass blank into a fluted dish, approximately 6 inches in diameter, with a ridged profile shaped by the mold form.

What size glass blank do I need?
Use a pre-made round blank sized to fit the 6 inch mold. A round fused blank or a cut sheet circle works. Test a first run to confirm the fit for your specific blank.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. Ceramic slumping molds are COE agnostic, so the same mold works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the mold surface with a kiln shelf primer such as a boron nitride spray (for example ZYP) or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing your glass blank.

Working Notes

These are guidelines, not guarantees. Every kiln fires a little differently, so test a small run first when the result matters and follow a slumping schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the mold surface with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash, and let it dry completely before placing your glass blank so the glass does not stick.
• Place a pre-made round fused blank or a cut sheet circle centered on the mold. The glass softens and slumps into the fluted form as the kiln heats.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slumping schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the slumped piece. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.

Creative Paradise Suggested Firing Schedule

This is a suggested COE96 starting schedule, not a guarantee. Every kiln fires differently. Test a small run and adjust the schedule for your glass and kiln.

Slump (COE96):

*Segment 3 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
