Freeze and Fuse Demo

In this video I am demonstrating the Freeze and Fuse process which is mixing fusible glass powder and water, freezing in molds and firing in a kiln.

Debby Thomsen thank you so much! I need to post more often, just hard to find the time!

Love the leaves, yes if you can do tutorial video on making of the leaves would be great. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks good video.

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

Thank you!

Thank you for the video! I really learned alot. I didn't realize the potential of so many types of molds that can be used. Have you had any problems with kiln wash or kiln papers leaving residue on the bottom of your pieces? I think I get that if I fire too hot.

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

You’re very welcome! I’ve not had anything stick that doesn’t easily rinse away. I normally use ThinFire or Papyros paper. It could be temp related, maybe back the temp down a little or reduce hold time.

wondering if this process will work with a microwave kiln

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

You could try it. I find that in order to keep the detail though I have to fire a bit lower like around 1260, and I’m not sure if you can get the lower equivalent in a MWK.

Hello Jackie! What kind of glass are you using in this video?

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

Hi there! I’m using 96 COE, I believe this was some older original Uroboros powder with just a little fine frit mixed in for texture.

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

Hi everyone! After watching this video post-upload I discovered somehow a super short clip of a fountain I made ended up included at the end (I’ve been having some iMovie challenges recently lol!) The succulent in that clip was NOT made using this process. That was frit cast in a ceramic mold by CPI. Just thought I would mention that.

I tried this way and found I had Black bits all over my fusing. I only used 2 colours of frit...Light Blue and Clear...any reason this happened ? Great video btw

I’m new to this, what does AFAP mean?

[@FullMoonLoonDesigns]

AFAP means as fast as possible. On the kilns I have I program to 9999 or FULL which is the same thing.

@@FullMoonLoonDesigns thank you so very much, I’m learning a lot from you and others and appreciate it!
