Fusing Bulls-eye went well, my shapes worked and the colours worked. I realised that this type of glass is much better to use and to create finished objects with than the nuggets. I made more plaster moulds from my silicone master and lay six medium sized ones in the kiln along with about five smaller moulds. 1 Putting moulds into the kiln. 2 Putting sheets of glass onto moulds.
Sunday, 24 May 2009. I had to use silicone to make my master mould as plaster moulds do not. Last very long in the kiln. I had to have a master mould which would then allow me to make as many plaster moulds as I needed for slumping, instead of making them from clay each time. 1 Make a clay model. 2 Cover the clay in one thin layer of silicone. Once all these layers were complet.
Be able to slump or fuse. Before I cast I had to make a decision on what I wanted to cast from. I chose to create a more simple and contemporary. Piece I made six plaster moulds of my platter. I had to make this many as they weaken during the firing process in the kiln and begin to crack. 4 Melt glass layer two. 5 Take out of mould.
