Angle Drape Draping Mold

The Angle Drape mold from Creative Paradise is a ceramic draping form measuring 9 inches long by 8.5 inches wide by 4.75 inches tall, with a diagonal of 12.5 inches. A pre-fused glass blank is placed over the angled form and heated so the glass softens and conforms to the slope by gravity, producing a finished piece suited to display on an easel. Creative Paradise shows the finished piece displayed on the LF252 Small Easel and LF253 Large Easel stands.

Like all ceramic kiln molds, this form is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly. The manufacturer provides a suggested drape schedule for two layers of pre-fused COE96 glass, which is reproduced in the firing schedule section below.

What does the Angle Drape mold make?
It shapes a pre-fused glass blank into an angled draped form. The mold measures 9 inches by 8.5 inches by 4.75 inches tall, with a 12.5 inch diagonal. The finished piece is sized to sit on the LF252 Small Easel or LF253 Large Easel.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. Ceramic draping 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 draping?
Coat the mold surface with a kiln shelf primer such as a boron nitride spray or kiln wash, and let it dry completely before placing your glass blank so the glass does not stick. Re-coat as needed between firings.

What glass do I start with?
Use a pre-fused blank sized to drape over the mold. The suggested schedule is written for two layers of pre-fused COE96 glass. For thicker pieces, you may need to raise the peak drape temperature above 1275 F.

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 draping 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 such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing your glass blank so the glass does not stick.
• Place a pre-fused glass blank over the angled form. The suggested schedule is written for two layers of pre-fused COE96 glass. For a single layer or a thicker stack, test and adjust the schedule accordingly.
• For thicker pieces, you may need to raise the peak drape temperature above 1275 F.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a drape schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Creative Paradise designed this mold to pair with the LF252 Small Easel and LF253 Large Easel display stands, sold separately.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the draped 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.

Drape (COE96, two layers of pre-fused glass):

*If creating thicker pieces, you may need to increase this temperature. †Segment 2 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
