Horse Dish Slumping Mold

The Horse Dish Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise shapes a pre-cut glass sheet or fused blank into a shallow horse dish form in a single firing. The mold measures 5.5 inches by 3.5 inches with a 1 inch depth, producing a compact dish that works as a small tray, jewelry holder, or decorative piece.

Like all ceramic slumping molds, this one is COE agnostic. Lay a prepared glass sheet over the form and fire to the slump temperature for your glass. Creative Paradise also provides a One-and-Done schedule, which combines a single layer of glass and frit in one firing rather than running a separate fuse and slump. As a ceramic kiln form it is reusable across many firings when prepped with a mold primer between uses.

What does the Horse Dish Slumping Mold make?
It shapes a glass sheet or fused blank into a horse dish form, roughly 5.5 by 3.5 inches with a 1 inch depth, in a single firing. The finished piece works as a small tray, ring dish, or display piece.

What COE glass works with this mold?
Any COE. Ceramic slumping molds are COE agnostic, so the same form works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match your firing schedule and anneal soak to the glass you are using.

How do I prepare the mold before slumping?
Coat the form with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing glass on it. Re coat as needed between firings so the glass releases cleanly.

What is the One-and-Done method?
Creative Paradise's One-and-Done method fires a single layer of glass with frit in one pass, combining fusing and slumping into a single firing. Use the schedule provided as a starting point and adjust for your kiln and glass.

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 form 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 it so the slumped piece releases cleanly after firing.
• Cut a glass sheet to fit the 5.5 by 3.5 inch form, or use a pre-fused blank of a similar size. For the One-and-Done method, layer frit over a single sheet of glass before placing it on the prepared form.
• 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.

One-and-Done (COE96): for a single layer of glass with frit.

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