Canape Dish Slumping Mold

The Canape Dish Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise shapes a pre-made glass blank into a shallow round dish measuring 4 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches deep. The outer mold measures 5.75 inches long by 4.75 inches wide with a depth of 1.75 inches, and the diagonal spans 8 inches. It is suited to making small serving dishes, ring dishes, or decorative glass accents from fused blanks or cut sheet glass.

Like all ceramic slumping molds, this one is COE agnostic. Lay a fused blank or cut sheet glass over the prepared mold and fire to a slump schedule suited to your glass. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Canape Dish mold make?
It slumps a glass blank into a shallow round dish, 4 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches deep, in a single firing. The finished piece works well as a small serving dish, ring holder, or decorative accent.

What size glass blank do I use?
The inner cavity is 4 inches in diameter. Cut or fuse a blank at or slightly above that diameter to allow the glass to drape over the form, and test a first run to confirm fit and depth of slump.

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 the glass so it does not stick.

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 glass so the glass does not stick.
• Place a fused blank or cut sheet glass over the prepared mold. The inner cavity is 4 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches deep.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slump 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.
