Small Five Ridge Draping Mold

The Small Five Ridge Draping Mold from Creative Paradise is a ceramic slumping form that shapes a sheet of fusible glass into a ridged disc. The form measures 3 inches in diameter and stands 2.25 inches tall. A pre-cut glass blank is placed over the form and heated until gravity pulls the softened glass down around the five ridges, giving the finished piece a textured, dimensional surface.

Like all ceramic kiln forms, this mold is COE agnostic. Drape a pre-fused or single-layer sheet over the prepared mold, set a firing schedule suited to your glass, and slump to shape. The five ridges create a repeated surface pattern across the finished piece, making the form well suited to small decorative dishes, accent pieces, and jewelry blanks that call for a ridged profile.

What does the Small Five Ridge Draping Mold make?
It shapes a sheet of fusible glass into a small ridged disc, about 3 inches in diameter, with five raised ridges across the surface. It is a slumping and draping form, not a frit casting mold.

What size glass blank do I need?
The form is 3 inches in diameter. Cut your blank to fit over the mold and allow the glass to drape down around the ridges as it softens. Test blank size and placement before committing to a full run.

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 fusible glass. Match your firing schedule and anneal soak to the glass you are using.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the surface of the form 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. 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 form 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 blank over the prepared form. The glass will soften and drape down around the five ridges as the kiln reaches slumping temperature.
• The form 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 form with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.
