Small Footed Wave Slumping Mold

The Small Footed Wave Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise forms a footed wave-shaped dish from a pre-made glass sheet or fused blank. The outer mold footprint is 5 inches long by 4 inches wide and 2 inches tall, with a diagonal of 6.5 inches. The inner area is 4 inches long by 3 inches wide and 1 inch deep, producing a compact footed dish suited to serving small bites, holding jewelry, or displaying as a decorative piece.

As a slumping mold, glass is placed over or onto the form and heated so gravity draws the softened sheet into the wave shape. Unlike frit-casting molds, no frit filling is involved; start with a pre-cut or pre-fused glass blank. Like all ceramic slumping molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when properly prepped.

What does the Small Footed Wave mold make?
It slumps a pre-made glass sheet or fused blank into a footed wave-shaped dish with an inner area of 4 inches by 3 inches and 1 inch of depth.

How do I use this as a slumping mold?
Cut or fuse a glass blank to fit, set it over or onto the prepared mold, and fire to a slumping temperature. The glass softens and drapes into the wave form by gravity as the kiln heats.

What COE glass can I use 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 firing schedule to the glass you are using.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
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 the glass so the glass does not stick.

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, and let it dry completely before placing the glass so the glass does not stick.
• Cut or fuse a glass blank sized to cover the inner cavity of 4 inches by 3 inches before slumping. A pre-fired fused piece will slump more predictably than raw sheet glass.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slumping schedule matched to your glass, typically at a lower temperature than a full fuse. Adjust the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the slumped dish. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.
