The book sounds intriguing. Can you give us a time table, and details like price? Judging by the piece you showed us I'm ready to preorder the book! \:D/ It won't really be a book, just a webpage with lots of info for all to read and learn. When it's done I'll just post it on the board, just for fu...

Welcome Yes, the enamels are similar to frit and they are fired onto the glass. Now for your piece and how it was fired. Your right in thinking it should be fused first and then slumped. Typical fusing temperatures are several hundred degrees above what your glass will slump at. Since you don't have...

Another thing it might be is condensation stains from moisture. If you dry kiln shelves in the kiln it may cause moisture condensation stains around the lid. The moisture evaporates quickly once the kiln heats up but it can leave a stain. I see this on my kiln frequently. If you dry shelves this way...

Huh..... as I don't have a proper cold working tool (wet belt sander), I have had problems with my sides caveing in a little - giving it that fluted kind of look. How did you prevent that if you didn't use a WBS?? :? :? The edges on this piece aren't perfect, they do have a slight scolloped look wh...

A little splash of color
Just playing around with a color combination that has a real rich flavor to it, at least to me it does. About 5 x 17 inches.
Spectrum black, red and almond.

A little clarification about my previous post. I think with rapid heating from 1250 to full fuse you're actually causing the shelf to warp. Looking at the kiln configuration tells me the shelves are probably seeing a lot of uneven heating. If the shelf is sitting on short posts there isn't any heat ...

I don't understand the need for all the speed between 1250 and full fuse. Slow down and let your glass conform to the shelf. Add a soak at 1225 or 1250 of about 20 min and then creep up to full fuse over about 45 min. I swear I could fuse on a gravel road without bubbles. Just slow down and save you...

Has anyone ever used Mona Lisa brand metal foils in between fused glass? I fired some of the Mona Lisa variegated red a while back. Full fused between 2 layers of BE clear. The only thing remaining after firing is a bunch of very tiny bubbles and a pale blue pattern where the leaf was and sone blac...

Only flat glass can be tempered. Anything that has been slumped will not survive the tempering process because of uneven heating and cooling. If you piece will hold water and you keep it outside don't let it freeze with water in it. If it's a table top or something that will drain all rainwater, it ...
