Love this.. Can you tell me about the firing schedule? I'm hoping to do a similarly sized bowl for the first time, and can't seem to find firing schedules for pate de verre.. Thanks!

@richardbrown9760 Жыл бұрын

Why don't you melt the thick stringers first and then add the thinner ones ,rather than melt all together?

Thanks and I learned a lot. What what you do if you are making very small copper pieces as far as a trivet? I have about 40 tiny hearts and can't think of a good way to sift onto them and then move them to ?? whatever kind of trivet? Appreciate any advice.

Hello. Love your videos they are so helpful. I wondered if someone could help answer a question. I've got an efco 135 kiln. What controller should I buy? There's one for about £100 (9950191 EFCO TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER) or one for about £400 ( 4300008 TEMPERATURE REGULATOR TRP008). Thankyou :)

Hello! I’m sure at this point you have found some suppliers but I’d recommend looking up: Vitrum Signum for enamels, Harrison and Harrison for copper shapes. Have fun!

Great video, I tried that one time but when it was cooling the glass kept cracking and breaking off. The copper was about 8mm thick. Any ideas how to avoid that? Thank you.

@MelissaKeskinkilinc 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Bill, What did you try specifically? I use around 0.8mm too so it shouldn't be the thickness. If the enamel is on too thickly though that can cause to cracking, or if you take it out underfired. The best way to go is thin layers built up rather than a thick layer. I hope that helps! Melissa

@Heggebokk 3 жыл бұрын

If the expansion coefficient of the enamel / copper does not match. the enamel loosens from the copper when it cools down. Copper and enamel must behave the same expansion coefficient at fire and cooling down.

Good video but is that F or C? Also how long do you fire? I have read about a 1 minute and a half at 1200f for the first layer is this corect?

@MelissaKeskinkilinc 5 жыл бұрын

Hi there, this is in degrees C, and you are right that you fire at approximately a minute or two. I fire at 800ish degrees for all of my firings, unless I want to high fire (some enamels change colour at a higher temp) when I fire at 900ish. The time that a firing takes depends on the size of your piece, thickness of the enamels you are firing and how hot your kiln fires at - there are a lot of variables. Rather than focusing on the time, I have always looked and checked my piece. When it has gone through the different stages (sugary,, orange peel, smooth) then I will take it out. I hope that helps you out? Any more questions and I am happy to help :) Melissa

@@MelissaKeskinkilinc Please keep doing these videos! Do you do any wet packing enameling. sorry I do not know the technical name, just starting out. See I love Medieval jewelry and Celtic jewelry and that is what started my interest into this art.

@MelissaKeskinkilinc 5 жыл бұрын

@@NIGHTMARE-zy7tq Hi, I plan on doing a few more videos :) The term I think you are after is wet laying :) You have to wash the enamels first and grind them down, then you can wet lay it onto a piece. There are some beautiful pieces of jewellery so I definitely understand why you are interested!
