Ruffled Control Flower Draping Mold

The Ruffled Control Flower Draping Mold from Creative Paradise slumps a pre-fused or pre-cut glass blank over the form, letting the glass soften and settle by gravity into a ruffled flower dish. The finished piece measures 10.5 inches in diameter with a slump depth of 3.5 inches, producing a substantial decorative bowl with a layered petal rim.

The mold body stands 4 inches tall and can be paired with either the GM193A or GM193B Petal Attachments if you want to vary the petal design. Like all ceramic slumping molds, it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when primed and maintained properly.

What does the Ruffled Control Flower Draping Mold make?
It slumps a glass blank into a ruffled flower dish that is 10.5 inches in diameter with a 3.5 inch slump depth. The ruffled rim gives the finished bowl a layered, petal-like edge.

What size glass blank do I start with?
Use a blank large enough to drape over the 10.5 inch form and reach the intended slump depth. The Creative Paradise suggested schedule is based on a double layer of glass. Cut or fuse your blank first, then center it on the prepared mold before firing.

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

How do I prep the mold before firing?
Coat the form with a boron nitride spray (such as ZYP) or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing your blank. The mold also accepts GM193A or GM193B Petal Attachments from Creative Paradise to extend or vary the petal profile.

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 form with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash, and let it dry completely before placing your glass blank.
• Place your pre-fused or pre-cut glass blank over the form. The suggested schedule is based on a double layer of glass. Size the blank to cover the 10.5 inch form and reach the intended slump depth.
• This mold accepts GM193A or GM193B Petal Attachments from Creative Paradise if you want to extend or vary the petal design.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slumping schedule matched to your glass, and adjust 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 of glass):

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