Weave Textured Coaster Draping Mold

The Weave Textured Coaster Draping Mold from Creative Paradise is a slumping form that shapes pre-made glass into functional coasters with a raised weave surface pattern. Each finished coaster fits a standard drink glass base, giving it everyday use alongside the handcrafted look. The mold footprint is 12.5 inches by 6.25 inches, with a diagonal of 14 inches.

Like all ceramic slumping molds, this one is COE agnostic. A pre-cut piece of sheet glass or a fused blank is placed over the form, fired to fusing temperature, and gravity presses it down onto the weave texture. The suggested firing schedule from Creative Paradise is calibrated for a double layer of COE96 glass. As a ceramic mold it is reusable across many firings when properly prepped.

What does the Weave Textured Coaster Draping Mold make?
It slumps sheet glass into coasters with a woven surface texture. Each finished coaster is sized to fit a standard drink glass base, making it functional for daily use.

How does draping work with this mold?
A pre-cut piece of sheet glass or a fused blank is set over the mold surface. As the kiln heats to slump temperature, the glass softens and gravity pulls it down onto the form, pressing the weave pattern into the surface. No frit filling is involved.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. Ceramic slumping molds are COE agnostic, so the same mold works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. The suggested schedule is written for COE96; adjust the anneal soak temperature for your glass.

How do I prep the mold before firing?
Coat the mold surface with a kiln wash or boron nitride spray and let it dry completely before placing glass. Re-coat between firings as needed to keep the glass from sticking.

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 such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing glass so the glass does not stick.
• Cut your glass to fit the coaster form. Place the sheet glass or fused blank over the mold surface so it drapes onto the form and picks up the weave texture during firing.
• The suggested schedule is written for a double layer of COE96 glass. If you are using a single layer, you may need to adjust the hold time at the slump temperature.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slump schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the coasters. Re-coat the mold 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, double layer, 6mm):

Tack Fire (COE96, single layer, 3mm):

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