The Large Hump with Drop Flower Mold from Creative Paradise is a ceramic slumping form that shapes a pre-made glass blank into a large flower with a raised center and deeply curved petals. The mold measures 6 inches in diameter and stands 2 inches tall, giving the finished flower a pronounced, sculptural profile.
To use a hump mold, a pre-fused or pre-cut glass blank is centered over the top of the form and fired so the glass softens and drapes down over the contours by gravity. Like all Creative Paradise ceramic kiln molds, this form is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when properly prepped.
What does the Large Hump with Drop Flower Mold make?
It slumps glass into a large flower form with a raised center and deeply curved petals. The finished piece spans the full 6 inch diameter of the mold.
How does slumping over a hump mold work?
A pre-fused or pre-cut glass blank is centered over the top of the form and fired. The glass softens and drapes down around the mold by gravity, taking on the raised center and curved petal profile without any hand-shaping.
What COE glass can I use with this mold?
Any COE. Ceramic kiln 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 kiln shelf primer such as a boron nitride spray (for example ZYP) or kiln wash, and let it dry completely before placing glass on the mold.

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 such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing glass on the mold.
- Center a pre-fused or pre-cut glass blank over the top of the hump form. The glass will soften and drape down around the mold during firing, forming the raised center and curved petal drop.
- The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slump 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.
