Melting Glass on Ceramic Mushrooms - Experimental
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лют 2019
- I test the melting of small glass bottles on top of a group of six ceramic mushrooms by firing them in an electric kiln. The goal is to see if filling the bottles with various additives will affect the flow and color of the glass.
Two of the six mushrooms fell over in the kiln due to drip tray failures, and the rest weren't all winners for sure! Failure is certainly no fun. When I first opened the kiln, I debated if I even wanted to finish this video, but with a little analysis, I think this was a worthy experiment. I learned a few things, and I hope you enjoy.
Also, there will be a part two to this video. I am making a larger version of this test mushroom and will be using a beer bottle filled with wood ash, and the winning blue glaze to melt on top. The drip tray will be pre-fired and rim up. :)

that last mushroom is an eyeball and a winner!!!!
Hey that was cool. Love the wood ash one. I feel your pain on grinding the shelves. Thanks for sharing. I've only used crushed glass on coasters.
Thank you so much for these experiments!
It help us for new idea to make things.
Excellent experiment! - I love your sense of adventure and creative testing of unorthodox ideas. Sorry about your kiln shelf, looked like one of your bricks took a hit as well, uggg, that sucks. I read on ceramicsartsdaily forum that folks use straight alumina under large platters to keep them from cracking so it makes sense that it stayed powder, same thing with straight silica, too high a melting point without some sort of flux. I bet floating blue and wood ash combined would have turned out really cool. Your'e makin me want to risk damaging my kiln!
Love this adventure !
Thank you
Love your experiments! Have you done a follow up to this one? I searched but did not find one.
Great drip! Wood ash is cool!
That last one was cool! looks like an eyeball.
Wood ash test looks like an eye
Yes !!!! I'm so glad somebody pointed that out ! I'm surprised Justin didn't say that as well. Super cool effect, great experiment with the others, too. That's how we learn, by experimenting 👍
I did find the video very interesting! I recently had the opportunity to talk to a man who has been repairing kilns for 30 years. Lots of questions and interesting answers. One thing he told me since I was going to experiment with copper in my kiln....he attempted to repair a college kiln. The students were experimenting with copper. The copper sparked and spit copper all over the elements completely ruining the kiln.
I started my ‘hobby life’ with stained glass, then lamp work beads. Glass melts at 1400-1600 depending on its content. Perhaps another firing after the glaze firing at a lower heat would work better?
Hola, por favor necesito tu ayuda,,, pintar cerámica tradicional, la hice, no sé cómo colorearla o ponerle un diseño,, por favor ayúdame,, saludos,,
Yes!!! The last one!!!!!
Alumina Hydrate can be sprinkled on kiln shelves to keep glaze drips from sticking and porcelain from sticking at cone 10 firing. It would need a good flux to get it to melt,( High melting point.) Glass will craze when fired high. It has a different shrink rate than clay.
Maybe small pieces of stained glass piled in center of mushroom and allowed to melt down? Have had great results on coasters
That last one is SO cool. Looks like an eye. Over all though... ouch.
Hey! what is the continue???
I'm curious about what you did follow up ~~~
Will you share the firing sequence.
I'm curious about what cone ramp and holds you used
Great idea. I would use more flux, alumina only helps if it is evenly distributed in the glass. But you dont need it, let it run.
I agree. Use more flux and let it run. I'm looking forward to retrying this on a bigger piece.
Do you ever give away failures, i would creat awesome fairy garden creations with them.
Also, i wanted to see how the copper looked on the kiln shelf. Dern. And im a year too late, wish id found you before now!!
Alumina Hydrate, which I assume you are using, is rather refractory and have a high melting point. One of the main usages is for kiln wash. You can add it to glazes but you need disassociate it with itself (that is mix it up real good with everything else in the glaze) for it to be a reasonable source of Alumina. Typically glaze recipes calls for Kaolin when additional Alumina i needed. You could try Kaolin as a replacement but you will most likely get the same result; partial or no melting and not wanting to mix up with the glass, it depends on how high you run the the kiln.
Yes, I was using Alumina Hydrate. Because I use Alumina in glazes to help slow down melting, I thought it would also work to slow down the glass. That was my theory at least. Thanks for the comment.
@@JustinsMakery Assuming you could grind down the bottle to a mesh 100 dust then mix that bottle dust with Alumina Hydrate and water, that would probably work :D
Justin, what cone?
Would it be possible to ball mill glass into an enamel to make it easier to apply, then add broken glass to the areas you want the drips to form?
Interesting idea.
Maybe try putting a few inches of sand in the drip tray to keep the yeast pieces upright
the wood ash looks like a giant eye ball
I would like to see the wood ash mixed with copper. Please do a follow up video. This is too good not to have a follow up video.
Looks as though you are left handed?
Looks like if you make your dimple a little larger the glass will melt then pour more evenly over the shroom helping it to stay erect and give a more even flow over the cap.
What is the temperature
Cone 5 - 2100'ish Fahrenheit
Temperature it was fired at?
Cone 5. Around 2,100 F.
@@JustinsMakery thanks
the last one looks like an iris
Crush and mix
Freaking awesome looking work!!! Could so without musics tho
hah are they poppers bottle
No I see you are not
Useless
Waste of time
😂
