Wow! You are not looking for easy ways! A very interesting experiment. Would you like to try pressing bits of glass into a pot/vase? Well, something like a mosaic? 🤔 What about red and blue glass? (yes, it comes across less often, you have to buy something special....) I usually ask friends or family😝... Also to try a small inexpensive hobby glass kit... I think it could be very exciting! Looking forward to the next videos! Hello from Germany!💖
The glass melts at these temperatures so something like a mosaic likely wouldn't be recognizable after firing. If you had separate pockets in the ceramic part to capture different colors you could (similar to multiple very runny glazes). I'm not sure about other colors of glass - but you could try!
@@PotterybyKent Aside from the melt/fuse temperature, the bigger issue wll be the coeffcient of expansion differential (which is what ultimately causes "poor fit" with glazes and ceramic pieces. FWIW, glazes are all versions of glass due to the silicate content.
To accent the cracks you can use alcohol inks, and then coat with mod poge or other sealant you prefer. Can be very interesting, basically abstract line art.
@@PotterybyKent Post firing finishing. So, yes, if fired again all would be lost... Here's the youtube clip that got me thinking... ua-cam.com/video/J3x1gQQEi18/v-deo.html&lc=UgyNbtdjfz_zC1_-SbB4AaABAg.9jTQj8vHcgD9jWvOp-cQ9P
Makes me think about using my various colors of powdered frits (I play with fused glass too) to create designs on either bisque ware or glazed pieces...
@@PotterybyKent I've seen "art" pieces in gift shops featuring ceramic coasters using glass the way you did. I assume one would want to use something (like the mod podge) to stablize, or risk glass shards flaking off.
Ah I understand. So use it as a way to adhere the the glass until it has a chance to melt and stick. I would assume the organics in mod podge would burn off first? But that is just a guess. Maybe embedding the glass in a bit of slip might help (or even putting it into a glaze).
@@PotterybyKent Mod podge, or similar, is only after it's been fired. What I've seen is using a dishwasher safe version of mod podge so the coasters could be washed. But no, nothing other glass, glaze or clay is going to survive kiln temps...
Nice experiment, cool outcomes. You might also try a lower heat "slumping" effect using the entire bottle. I'd put a pile of kiln wash on the shelf and lay the bottle on its side in the kiln wash. Don't know what heat you'd want, but the desired effect would be for the bottle to soften and collapse into itself, leaving a flattened neck and body which could be used for a candy or nut dish at a party.
Thanks for the interesting idea. This was fired at cone 6 and from what I saw before doing this you really need to test/experiment with each glass since they all have slightly different chemistries.
Love your coasters. What tempreture did you fire them at? I am new to this and mine turned cloudy which I've just learnt is called devit. Any tips on the exact settings would be amazing. Thank you 😊
Thanks! I fired them on my regular firing schedule which is about cone 5.5/6. I have a custom kiln controller and programmed it to follow @oldforgecreations kiln program which is here: glazy.org/kilnschedules/320
Awesome! I do stained glass and glass fusing so I always have lots of leftover glass.
These are fun! Colored glass would be a great thing to use I would think.
To broke the glass, I use to warm it to 400c and drop in cold water. It breaks in much smaller pieces and much Less dangerous pieces.
Oh that is a good trick to know about! Thanks!

Interesting - wouldn't those just burn off in the firing?

That might be interesting. Probably akin to a glaze that you have no idea how will turn out!

Thank you so much for the link. Really helpful.
You're very welcome
The frosty is call denitrification...
Cool. If you have a reference I'd be curious to learn more.
What temperature did you fire to?
Cone 6
