Tree of Life Textured Fusing Tile

The Tree of Life Textured Fusing Tile from Creative Paradise is a 12 inch by 12 inch ceramic tile impressed with a tree of life design. Place a glass sheet face down on the prepared tile before firing, and the relief pattern transfers to the underside of the glass as it softens against the surface. Frit can also be fused directly on the tile to build a textured, patterned piece from powder or small glass fragments.

The tile surface is 12 inches by 12 inches with a 17.25 inch diagonal, giving it enough area for a standard square glass blank. Like all Creative Paradise ceramic tiles, it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped between runs.

What does the Tree of Life Textured Fusing Tile produce?
It transfers a tree of life relief pattern to the underside of a glass sheet placed face down on the tile during firing. Frit can also be loaded directly onto the tile surface and fused to produce a patterned glass piece.

What size glass works on this tile?
The tile surface is 12 inches by 12 inches with a 17.25 inch diagonal, so it suits a standard 12 inch square glass blank. Cut your sheet to fit within the tile area before firing.

Can I fuse frit directly on this tile instead of a glass sheet?
Yes. Load frit or powder onto the prepared tile and fire it to create a textured, patterned piece. The tree of life design shows through the fused surface.

What COE glass can I use with this tile?
Any COE. The ceramic tile is COE agnostic, so it works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using.

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 fusing schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the tile surface with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing glass on the tile.
• To texture a glass sheet, place it face down on the prepared tile so the glass surface contacts the relief. The pattern transfers to the underside of the glass as it softens during firing.
• To fuse frit on the tile, load powder or frit directly onto the prepped surface and fire to the desired fuse level. The tree of life design shows through the finished piece.
• The tile is COE agnostic. Use a full fuse schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak temperature for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before lifting the glass from the tile. Re coat the tile with primer as needed between firings.

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): for a double layer of glass with frit.

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