About Us

Materials:

Fritter Mold
Glass Separator
Clear Coarse Frit
Colored Medium Frit
Black Fine Frit - optional

Prior to placing glass in molds: Brush on 2 coats, letting dry in between coats, premixed glass separator.
Set on kiln shelf and fire at medium speed until kiln reaches 500 degrees.

Once firing complete, turn off kiln. At 400 degrees, take out peephole plugs.

At 300 degrees, prop lid. At 200 degrees, open kiln lid. Molds may be removed at 150 degrees.

Sprinkle small amounts of colored medium or fine frits into mold layering as you go.
Use a brush to move colored frits if they spill onto unwanted areas.
Sprinkle clear coarse frit to lightly but evenly cover all of colored frit. Put extra clear coarse frit into middle of mold in a small dome shape.
Quantity of Frit: You will want the frit to reach about ¾ way up in frit mold.

Set mold on kiln shelf. Kiln shelves should be 8” from bottom of kiln.
These can be fired to cone 015 on medium speed in a traditional kiln because of their relatively small size.
Do not take cones out or prop lid during annealing between 1100 and 700 degrees.
Do not unload until 150 degrees or less. Room temperature is best.
Invert mold to release.
Wash mold with soap and water to remove glass separator.

Attach Copper Tube to make into a Garden Stake or glue a night lite onto back.

*These do not need to be flashed.
