Quad Swoop Slumping Mold

The Quad Swoop Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise drapes a pre-made glass blank into a form with four curved swoop sections in a single firing. The mold measures 9 inches by 9 inches with a 2 inch depth and a diagonal of 13.25 inches. Its compact footprint and modest glass requirement make it accessible for beginners as well as experienced fusers.

To use this mold, place a compatible pre-fused or cut glass blank over the form, then fire to slumping temperature so the glass softens and conforms to the swooped contours by gravity. Like all ceramic kiln forms, it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Quad Swoop Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a single glass blank into a piece with four curved swoop sections. The finished shape follows the contours of the form, with each swoop defined by the mold's surface.

What COE glass works with this mold?
Any COE. Ceramic kiln forms are COE agnostic, so the same mold works with COE96, COE90, or other compatible fusible glass. Match your slumping schedule to the glass you are using.

What size glass blank do I need?
The mold footprint is 9 inches by 9 inches, with a 13.25 inch diagonal. A pre-fused or cut square blank sized to cover the form is typical. Test the fit before firing.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the mold surface with a boron nitride mold primer or kiln wash, and let it dry completely before placing your 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 such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing your glass blank.
• Place a pre-fused or cut glass blank over the form. The suggested schedule below is for a double layer of COE96 glass.
• 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 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):

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