Tulip Textured Fusing Tile

The Tulip Textured Fusing Tile from Creative Paradise is a round ceramic tile measuring 10.25 inches in diameter, designed to transfer a tulip scene texture into fused glass. Arrange transparent frits across the textured surface to fill each section of the pattern, then fire a double layer of glass on the tile so the tulip design fuses into the finished panel in a stained glass style.

Like all ceramic kiln forms, this tile is COE agnostic. Use it with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass, and match your firing schedule and anneal soak temperature to the glass you choose. The tile is reusable across many firings when primed and cared for properly.

What does the Tulip Textured Fusing Tile make?
It transfers a round tulip scene texture into fused glass, producing a 10.25 inch diameter panel with a stained glass style tulip composition when glass and transparent frits are fired on the tile surface.

How does a texture tile work for fusing?
Place a base layer of glass on the prepared tile, arrange transparent frits over the textured tulip pattern areas, and fire. The glass softens and picks up the raised texture from the tile as it fuses, locking the tulip design into the panel surface.

What COE glass works with this tile?
Any COE. Ceramic tiles are COE agnostic, so the same tile 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 tile before firing?
Coat the tile 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 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 firing 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, and let it dry completely before placing glass so the glass does not stick.
• Use various transparent frits to fill the tulip pattern sections on the tile surface. Different colors in different areas of the pattern create the stained glass style effect as the glass fuses.
• The suggested schedule is written for a double layer of COE96 glass with frit. Adjust for your glass type and kiln.
• The tile is COE agnostic. Use a firing schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the fused panel. Re-coat the tile 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.

Full Fuse (COE96): suggested 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.
