Tree of Life Textured Wine Bottle Slumping Mold

The Tree of Life Textured Wine Bottle Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise slumps a wine bottle flat over a textured ceramic form, pressing the Tree of Life pattern into the glass as it softens and settles by gravity. The raised bottle neck stays upright during the slump and becomes a built-in handle on the finished piece, producing a functional tray suited to serving cheese, charcuterie, or small appetizers.

The mold measures 13 inches long by 5.5 inches wide and 2 inches tall. Like all ceramic slumping molds, it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly. Found or recycled glass is not tested for compatibility, so use compatible fusible glass or test a sample when the result matters.

What does the Tree of Life Textured Wine Bottle Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a wine bottle into a flat tray with the Tree of Life texture pressed into the glass surface. The raised bottle neck becomes a handle, so the finished piece works as a serving tray for cheese or appetizers.

How do I use this slumping mold?
Remove the wine bottle label and clean the bottle thoroughly. Prime the mold surface with a kiln wash or boron nitride primer and let it dry completely. Lay the prepared bottle on the mold and fire using a slump schedule suited to your glass.

What glass works in this mold?
The mold is COE agnostic. Standard wine bottles, COE96, and COE90 fusible glass are all compatible. Found or recycled glass is not tested for compatibility, so test a sample first if the source is unknown.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the mold surface with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing the bottle. 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 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 bottle so the glass does not stick.
• Remove the wine bottle label and clean the bottle thoroughly before placing it on the mold.
• Found or recycled glass is not tested for compatibility. Use compatible fusible glass or test a sample first when the result matters.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Adjust the final anneal soak temperature to match your glass: 950 F for COE96 or standard wine bottles, 900 F for COE90.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the slumped piece. Re-coat the mold 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.

Slump Schedule:

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