Dragonfly Texture Fusing Tile

The Dragonfly Texture Fusing Tile from Creative Paradise is a square ceramic tile with a raised dragonfly pattern on its surface, measuring 10 inches by 10 inches with a 14.5 inch diagonal. Place fusible sheet glass on top of the tile and fire to a full fuse; as the glass softens, it settles into the ceramic texture and picks up the dragonfly pattern, giving the finished piece a dimensional, patterned surface.

Creative Paradise suggests starting with a double layer of COE96 glass, with frit added as desired. The tile is COE agnostic, so it works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass, as long as your firing schedule is matched to the glass you are using. Like all ceramic kiln tiles, it is reusable across many firings with proper prep and care.

What does the Dragonfly Texture Fusing Tile do?
It transfers a raised dragonfly relief pattern to sheet glass during a full fuse firing, producing a textured glass piece up to 10 inches by 10 inches.

What glass do I use with this tile?
Creative Paradise suggests a double layer of sheet glass with frit as a starting point. Any fusible sheet that fits within the 10 by 10 inch tile surface works; the texture transfers to whatever glass area rests on the tile.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. The ceramic tile is COE agnostic, so it works with COE96, COE90, or other compatible 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 or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing glass on top. Re coat the tile 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 firing 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 on top so the glass does not stick.
• Creative Paradise suggests a double layer of sheet glass, with frit added on top as desired. The full 10 by 10 inch tile surface can be used.
• 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 glass piece. Re coat the tile surface 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.

Full Fuse (COE96):

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