Butterflies Texture Fusing Tile

The Butterflies Texture Fusing Tile from Creative Paradise transfers a butterfly relief pattern into the surface of fused glass. Place a single or double layer of fusible glass flat on the primed tile, add frit if you like, and fire to full fuse. As the glass softens, it settles against the ceramic surface and picks up the butterfly texture. The result is a flat fused piece with butterfly detail pressed into one face.

The tile measures 13 inches by 7 inches, with a diagonal of 14.75 inches, giving you a generous working area for panels, platters, or multiple pieces arranged side by side. Like all Creative Paradise ceramic tiles, it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when cleaned and re-primed between uses.

What does the Butterflies Texture Fusing Tile make?
It transfers a butterfly relief pattern into the surface of fused glass. Place glass on the tile and fire to full fuse so the glass picks up the butterfly texture as it softens.

What size glass do I use with it?
The tile measures 13 inches by 7 inches, so cut your glass to fit the area you want to texture. The suggested firing schedule is written for a double layer of COE96 glass with frit on top.

What COE glass works with this tile?
Any COE. Ceramic texture tiles are COE agnostic, so the same tile works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using.

How do I prep the tile before firing?
Coat the tile 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 glass so the glass releases cleanly after firing.

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 fusing schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the tile 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 glass so the glass does not stick.
• Place a single or double layer of fusible glass on the primed tile surface. Add frit on top for blended color or additional surface texture.
• The tile is COE agnostic. Use a full fuse schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the textured piece. Re coat the tile with primer as needed between firings.

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.

Full Fuse (COE96): for a double layer of glass with frit.

*Segment 4 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
