Flower Textured Small Square Slumping Mold

The Flower Textured Small Square Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise shapes a pre-made glass blank into a small square dish with an embossed flower pattern across its face. The mold measures 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches, with a diagonal of 6.5 inches, making it a compact option for small decorative dishes, accent pieces, or shallow serving pieces.

Unlike frit casting molds, a slumping mold works by gravity. A pre-cut or pre-fused glass blank is laid on top of the form, then the kiln is fired so the glass softens and settles down onto the mold's contoured flower texture. Like all ceramic kiln molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Flower Textured Small Square Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a glass blank into a small square dish, roughly 4.5 inches across, with a flower texture pressed into its surface.

What COE glass can I use with this mold?
Any COE. Ceramic slumping molds are COE agnostic, so the same mold works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match the firing schedule to the glass you are using.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the mold surface with a boron nitride spray, such as ZYP, or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing the glass blank on top.

What kind of glass blank do I use?
Use a pre-cut sheet or a pre-fused piece sized to cover the mold. The glass softens and conforms to the flower texture by gravity during 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 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.
• Lay a pre-cut sheet blank or a pre-fused piece on top of the mold. The glass softens during firing and drapes down to take the flower texture shape.
• 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 9 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
