I agree with Dee. Which dichroic are you using? CBS doesn't do what you described.

I'm not sure about the size. (The catalog is at work.) But Aftosa had what you are asking about (I think). They were for ceramic drawer pulls. You might check their web site under new products.

You apply the decals according to the directions on the back of the package. You put them on the glass, let it dry, then fire. Usually there is a suggested firing range printed, esp. if it is a metallic decal.

Paul has a website. You might go there for contact info if he doesn't answer soon. http://www.izm.com My boss gives a two day private fusing class in Fort Worth. You use the big kiln to fuse a large piece and slump the next day. While the big kiln is "cookiing" you then use the smaller kil...

A drop ring is a mold that, if you put in on kiln posts, the glass "drops through" the center part. The height of the kiln posts determine how far the glass drops. The photo below (can't believe I got the image thingy to work) shows the mold and a plate I did without the posts. http://www....

Any candle will do. I find that the tea candles work better. You have to hold the stringer in the flame for about 4-5 seconds, apply gentle pressure and the stringer will bend. I've also bent noodles. Sometimes using the pointy tweezers help in bending shapes. You do get soot but it does burn off. I...

How small are your kilns? How has the class be advertized.....just "glass fusion"? If your kilns are like the Hot Box or QuikFire, they could only do a 3/4" project. If you want them to do a little larger piece, you may have state up front that they will have to pick up their projects...

We use 3 of the Quik Fire 6 kilns at the shop where I teach fusing. (I also have one at home.) We noticed that one of the shop kilns was firing differently than the others........my boss took the Paragon kiln maintenace class and adjusted the pyrometer where it read more correctly. You might contact...

I've been experimenting with the different materials for making molds. Haven't found one yet that is permanent but then I haven't tried them all yet. You might want to look into taking some classes. There are some "experts" who teach classes that give a variety of mold making techniques. T...

I had seen Jim Wolverton's bowl but didn't have the nerve to do it in stringers. So I did a variation in 1/4" strips of glass. Did it on a drop ring mold without posts. Did two for Christmas presents. Now I think I have the patience to try one in stringers. :D http://pic2.picturetrail.com/VOL29...

Here is one Jim posted on another board.....Hope its what you wanted to see. (you may have to do a "copy/paste" if the link doesn't work.)

Daffodildeb, I'm in Fort Worth. I'm a retired school teacher, teaching classes at the Merry Go Round Stained Glass.........what I make there helps support my "glass addiction". :D The shop has a website but we haven't posted the next group of classes yet. http://www.merry-go-roundstainedgl...

I agree with Tony.......get Brad's book and take some classes. We offer two types of classes at the shop where I teach. One is a jewelry class. The other is an intense 2 day class where they do a large plate in the large kiln and while it is "cooking", do some "creating" in the s...

I know you asked about frit molds, but there are other options like mosaic tree ornaments, mosaic tiles (cut into strips for wind chimes, etc.

YEA!!! I did it....never posted a photo here before

I had considered going to that show because I wanted to take Kay Bain Weiner's class on painting with enamels, powders and frits. I've had a couple of other class with Kay and she is awesome!!! (I decided to wait for either Glass Expo or AGA in Portland.) I don't know anything about that show becaus...

Paul, We don't have the green resist but have various thicknesses of sandblasting resists at the Merry Go Round. Or you might call Craig and see if there is a local source for what you need.

Ruth,
I get between $4-$15. The little stockings are $4. The trees with dichroic are between $8-15, depending on size. I could probably get a little more if I were in Dallas instead of Fort Worth

Paragon has some that are 17" that run on 120v.
The new Hot Start by Skutt is a good kiln also but is only 13".

Rosanna, Thanks for the great new idea!! Ruth, I have some photos of ornaments that I came up with for some fusing classes I teach. The photos are in my picture trail "sharing ideas" album. They are pretty popular at the stained glass shop where I work. Vernelle (another Texan) http://www....
