Greatings! Thats a really nice work you are doing here. Can I have a question about the type of casting form that was used in this video? Is the material some kind of Teflon or gypsum (sand)? Also I would like to ask whether is possible to make this kind of melted-glass-work in the oven for pottery? Thank you very much for your time.
I use ceramic molds purchased from glass mold suppliers. You can use any kiln capable of reaching the temperatures. Casting goes to 1500 degrees F. or so. You can go lower and hold longer. A programmable kiln is the best as there are many stages to heating and holding glass so it anneals properly and goes through the stress temperatures as needed for the thickness and size
Thank you for sharing, Sorry my English is not perfect its not my first language, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE COST OF THAT MACHINE YOU ARE USING TO MELT THE GLASSES, AND CAN IT BE USED TO MELT THE RECYCLED GLASS BOTTLE?? PLEASE HELP ME WITH THE INFORMATION OF HOW TO GET IT, AM FROM EAST AFRICA..thanks.
Judy Zela I use kilns designed for glass fusing. The cost varies a lot depending on size. There are several manufacturers that you can google. Most are well insulated and durable. A small one will average 4 to 5 hundred USD. Large kilns will be in the thousands. Bottles can be slumped or flattened in any kiln that can accommodate their size.
that's my question too--- I'm am on You Tube right now trying to find out how to make my own glass molds -- i do lame working and have a kiln and do ceramics-- i think this could be just plaster??? in previous video i saw they indeed use plaster.
I like the leaf it is really amazing
I know it looks really nice
are u trolling lmao cause it looked like the worst outta erervything she made everythign else looked amazing lol but the leaf looked like shit
nice . thanks about sharing
where did you get your turtle mold? It really cool!
Wonderful! Did you use a glass release? Where do I find such a thing?
I used MR 97, boron nitride which I purchased from the manufacturer. Most fusible glass suppliers sell it.

It's probably just plaster. If you can keep the temperature around 900°F for a few hours to one day to anneal after melting it should be fine.

Great job

Regard.

I wanna try memorial tombstones using crushed beer glass bottles and my home made kiln ,is that possible
nice video. could I ask a question about mould. It looks quite white , is it clay material or plaster?
It is a ceramic mold purchased from colour de verre. They are very knowledgeable and helpful if you have mold questions.

From what material it's made the mold?
