Description
The M35 Starfire Drape Mold enables fusers to create a shape that is very reminiscent of a blown glass vessel. The unconventional shape of this draping mold produces a surprisingly large bowl with six gentle waves that ripple around the perimeter.
The mold is 12” (30.5 cm) by 4” (10.2 cm) high and can be used in most medium-sized kilns with a firing chamber that is at least 13” (33 cm) in diameter (or square) and 5 1/2” (14 cm) high.
This mold is packed for retail display with a color label. The package includes the ceramic mold plus a 12-page color booklet with information for mold preparation and placement, step-by-step instructions for one complete project and a photo gallery featuring additional innovative bowl designs.
Creating a drape bowl on an M35 Starfire is simple:
- Cut one or 2 glass disks 11″ (28cm) then decorate the top in any style that you like..
- Fire the disk to create a fused flat blank – use the schedule provided in the 12-page color booklet that is included with the mold.
- Place your pre-fused flat blank on the M35 Starfire draping mold and set the kiln controller to the recommended drape fire schedule to shape the bowl.
Note: The blue & White bowl shown at here (beside the Starfire mold), was shaped on the mold using a single layer of glass that was not pre-fired. The 11″ (28cm) diameter disk was cut from a sheet of fusing glass that looked exactly like the bowl without any additional decoration. The disc was cut and the edge ground to smooth it slightly, then it was placed on the drape mold and fired using the drape schedule provided in the 12-page color booklet that is included with the mold.
FREE – The Graffiti Bowl shown to the left was created using the B235 Mold bundle. This mold bubble includes an additional mold to create the cast foot plus fiber rings to enable the foot to be added and shaped during the slump firing.
