Poppy Casting Mold

The Poppy Casting Mold from Creative Paradise casts a single large poppy-shaped piece in one firing, with the finished casting measuring 7 inches by 7 inches. The mold body is 7.5 inches long by 7 inches wide and 1.25 inches tall, giving the cavity enough depth for a well-defined poppy form. The cast piece can also serve as a blank for a follow-on draping step, and Creative Paradise features it paired with the GM58 Iris Bottom mold for that purpose.

Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Fill the cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to the poppy shape. Creative Paradise lists a fill weight of 284 grams. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Poppy Casting Mold make?
It casts a single flat poppy-shaped piece measuring 7 inches by 7 inches in one firing. The finished piece works as a decorative panel or as a blank for a follow-on draping step.

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?
Creative Paradise lists 284 grams for this 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, small 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 or tack fire schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• The cast poppy piece can be used as a blank for a follow-on draping step; Creative Paradise shows it draped on the GM58 Iris Bottom mold.
• 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.
