Need basic help on preparing to slump simple project....

Post by candala »

I've never slumped before. I want to slump a small vase with some dichroic. Do you FIRST have to fire the glass (fuse) before slumping? Also, how do you determine the exact size and shape to place over the mold? Is there a slumping for idiots tutorial or video I can get my hands on? Thanks.
