Large Poppy Casting Mold

The Large Poppy Casting Mold from Creative Paradise casts one large poppy-shaped disc in a single firing, with the finished casting measuring 10 inches in diameter. The mold itself is 11 inches in diameter, making it well suited to wall art pieces, large decorative panels, or centerpiece platters. The manufacturer lists a fill weight of about 539 grams, reflecting the generous size of the single cavity.

Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Fill the cavity with frit, billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to the poppy shape. Once cast and cooled, the finished piece can be taken further by slumping it over a compatible mold, such as the GM125 Patty Gray Large Round Slump, to add dimension. As a kiln casting mold it is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Large Poppy Casting Mold make?
It casts one large poppy-shaped disc, 10 inches in diameter, in a single firing. The cast piece can be used flat or slumped in a second firing over a compatible round slump mold.

What COE glass can I use in this mold?
Any COE. Ceramic casting 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 much glass do I need to fill the cavity?
Creative Paradise lists about 539 grams for a full fill of this single cavity. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters.

How do I prep the mold before casting?
Coat the cavity with a kiln shelf primer such as a boron nitride spray (for example ZYP) or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before adding 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 casting schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the cavity with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash, and let it dry completely before adding glass so the glass does not stick.
• Fill with frit, billets, or stacked sheet scrap. For a tack fired surface, the manufacturer suggests powder and fine frit filled uniformly to about a quarter inch.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a full fuse schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• The cast poppy can be slumped in a second firing over a compatible round slump mold, such as the GM125 Patty Gray Large Round Slump, to add dimension to the finished piece.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the cast 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.

Full Fuse (COE96):

Tack Fire (COE96): for a tack fired surface, fill uniformly to about a quarter inch with powder and fine frit.

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