Simple Slumping Questions
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2003 4:23 am
I am getting a paperweight mold for my little kiln. I have never used molds, I'm a simple pendant (dichroic) fuser. Do I just fill the paperweight mold with glass and fire? How do I get the piece to be 3 dimensional to show dichroic colors in the center? Also, how does one grind a larger piece like this. I have the regular all star grinder and I don't think I"ll be able to maneuver a 4 inch dense piece around a little grinder head. What does everyone do with respect to grinding when they slump let's say a plate? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
