Skull Mask Draping Mold

The Skull Mask Draping Mold from Creative Paradise is a ceramic draping form that shapes a pre-made sheet of fusible glass into a skull mask profile, suited to Sugar Skull art pieces and Halloween decorations. A glass sheet or fused blank is laid over the raised form, then fired so the glass softens and settles by gravity into the skull mask contour.

The mold measures 8.25 inches by 5.5 inches. Like all ceramic draping molds, it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly. Creative Paradise provides a suggested drape schedule for a double layer of COE96 glass.

What does the Skull Mask Draping Mold make?
It shapes a sheet of fusible glass into a skull mask form, suitable for Sugar Skull art pieces and Halloween decorations.

How does draping work with this mold?
Place a pre-cut glass sheet or fused blank over the raised mold form. When fired, the glass softens and conforms to the skull mask shape by gravity. No frit filling is needed.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. Ceramic draping 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 do I prep the mold?
Coat the mold surface 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 placing your glass.

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 draping 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 your glass so the glass does not stick.
• Place a pre-cut glass sheet or fused blank over the mold form. The suggested schedule below is for a double layer of COE96 glass.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a drape schedule matched to your glass and adjust the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the draped 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.

Drape (COE96, double layer):

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