Modern Spoon Rest Slumping Mold

The Modern Spoon Rest Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise shapes a pre-made fused glass blank into a curved spoon rest for stovetop or countertop use. The mold measures 10.5 inches long by 6 inches wide, giving the finished piece a practical footprint suited to holding a cooking spoon between uses.

To use it, prepare a fused glass blank sized to cover the mold, prime the surface, set the blank over the form, and fire to a slumping temperature so the glass softens and drapes into the form by gravity. Creative Paradise provides a suggested slump schedule for a double layer of COE96 glass. Like all ceramic kiln molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and maintained properly.

What does the Modern Spoon Rest Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a fused glass blank into a spoon rest shape following the mold's profile. The mold footprint is 10.5 inches by 6 inches, which approximates the finished piece size.

What glass do I need for this mold?
Prepare a fused glass blank sized to cover the mold's working area. The manufacturer's suggested schedule is based on a double layer of glass, so a two-layer blank is a reliable starting point. Fuse the blank first in one firing, then slump it over the mold in a separate firing.

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 the firing schedule and anneal temperature 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 or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing the glass blank. 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 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 the glass blank.
• Fuse your glass blank in a separate firing first, then slump it over the mold. A double layer of glass, as used in the manufacturer's suggested schedule, gives the finished piece good body for everyday use as a spoon rest.
• Center the prepared blank over the mold and fire to slumping temperature so the glass softens and drapes into the form by gravity.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slump schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak temperature 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.

Slump (COE96, double layer):

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