Large Footed Wave Slumping Mold

The Large Footed Wave Slumping mold from Creative Paradise shapes a single footed wave dish per firing. A pre-made glass blank is placed over the form and heated until the glass softens and drapes down by gravity, taking on the wave contour and raised footed base. The interior of the finished dish measures 8 inches long by 4 inches wide with a depth of 0.75 inches.

The outer mold measures 9 inches long by 5 inches wide by 1.75 inches tall, with a diagonal of 10.5 inches. Like all ceramic slumping molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Large Footed Wave Slumping mold make?
It shapes one footed wave dish per firing. The interior measures 8 inches long by 4 inches wide with a depth of 0.75 inches, and the finished dish sits raised on its footed base.

What size glass blank do I need?
Cut a blank sized to drape over the form comfortably, generally close to 8 inches by 4 inches or slightly larger depending on how the glass flows at your firing temperature. Test a first run to confirm sizing for your glass and kiln.

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 your 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 glass over the form so the glass releases cleanly after 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 glass over the form so the glass does not stick.
• Place a pre-made or fused glass blank over the mold. Cut it to roughly 8 inches by 4 inches and test a first run to confirm fit for your glass and setup.
• 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 dish. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings. The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.
