Dimple Rim Slumping Mold

The Dimple Rim Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise is a ceramic slumping form that shapes a glass sheet or fused blank into a shallow bowl with a decorative dimpled rim. The mold measures 6.25 inches in diameter and 3.75 inches tall, and it slumps the glass to a finished depth of 0.75 inches.

Like all ceramic slumping molds, this one is COE agnostic. Drape a pre-made glass blank over the form and fire to slumping temperature so gravity draws the glass down into the bowl shape. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Dimple Rim Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a glass blank into a shallow bowl with a dimpled rim, finished at 6.25 inches across and 0.75 inches deep. The textured rim adds detail to decorative plates, serving dishes, or display pieces.

What size glass blank do I need?
The mold is 6.25 inches in diameter. Use a pre-fused blank or cut glass sheet sized to drape over the form evenly. Allow some extra glass at the edges to account for movement during the 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. Re coat as needed between firings.

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 the glass so the glass does not stick.
• Use a pre-made fused blank or a cut glass sheet sized to drape over the 6.25 inch form. The glass will soften and settle into the bowl shape as the kiln reaches slumping temperature.
• 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.
