Roses and Leaves Casting Mold

The Roses and Leaves casting mold from Creative Paradise casts a set of botanical shapes in a single firing, including roses, a rose bud, and leaves in three sizes. Finished pieces range from about 2 to 2.75 inches, and the mold itself measures 8.25 inches by 6 inches by 1.5 inches tall, giving it a generous footprint suited to making a coordinated collection of floral glass castings at once.

Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Load the cavities with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse so the glass takes the shape of each cavity. Fill weights vary by cavity: about 26 grams per rose, 12 grams for the rose bud, 12 grams for the large leaf, 6 grams for the medium leaf, and 4 grams for the small leaf. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Roses and Leaves mold make?
It casts a set of floral and botanical shapes, including roses, a rose bud, a large leaf, a medium leaf, and a small leaf, all in one firing. Finished pieces range from about 2 to 2.75 inches, suited to pendants, cabochons, and decorative glass accents.

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 per cavity?
Creative Paradise lists about 26 grams per rose, 12 grams for the rose bud, 12 grams for the large leaf, 6 grams for the medium leaf, and 4 grams for the small leaf. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters.

How do I prep the mold before casting?
Coat each 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 cavities 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 schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the cast pieces. 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.
