Foot Draping Mold

The Foot Draping Mold from Creative Paradise is designed to be used together with the GM87 Plate Ring Slumping Mold to form a footed dish in a single firing. A pre-made glass sheet or fused blank is placed over the form and heated until the glass softens and settles into the footed shape by gravity.

The mold measures 10.5 inches in diameter and 2.25 inches tall. Like all ceramic slumping molds, it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Foot Draping Mold make?
It forms a footed dish when used alongside the GM87 Plate Ring Slumping Mold. The foot form gives the finished dish a raised base after the glass blank drapes over both forms and cools.

How does it work with the Plate Ring Slumping Mold?
This mold is the companion piece to the GM87 Plate Ring. Both forms are set in the kiln together so the glass blank drapes over them in a single firing, producing a dish with a defined foot ring.

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 draping?
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 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 draping 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.
• Use this mold together with the Plate Ring Slumping Mold (GM87) to form a footed dish. Set both forms in the kiln and drape a pre-made glass blank over them.
• The firing schedule below is written for a double layer of COE96 glass. Adjust for a different COE by changing the anneal soak temperature.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a drape schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the draped 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.

Drape (COE96, double layer):

*Segment 3 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
