Lovely to see these young kids getting involved and learning about the safety aspects while having fun. Well done 😊

Thanks for doing this video. I have learned so much from this. ❤😊

Thank you for such a beautiful intergenerational video. You are an amazing grandpa. Your grandchildren are delightful. This video made my day, and your lesson -- which allowed for failure and an opportunity to learn -- was instructive. Thank you!

Love seeing the kids in the presentation. Including the next generation in our art work is very important!

Should sift the powders/apply mica on the veiny side of leaf for maximum effect. It captures the texture.

Where is the LOVE button?

[@wesalsworkshop2336]

nice tutorial and I loved the kids

[@gillyharding4748]

Hi, this is a great presentation but can you share the schedule for the Mica on leaves please?

[@WarmGlassStudio]

Just use a standard fusing schedule. We use 300F dph to 1100F hold 10 minutes, 250F to 1230F hold 30 minutes, 250F to 1460F hold 10 minutes, then as fast as possible to 900F hold for an hour, 100 dph to 750F no hold, kiln off.

[@EllianaAnita]

Very nice indeed. Please write the temperature and the ramps to fuse the leaves and the name of the powder you used. I would love to do it with my grandchildren. Thank you

[@WarmGlassStudio]

We used Bullseye powders. When we fired, we held at 1230F for around half an hour on the way up to help minimize trapped air bubbles. Then we continued firing on to a full fuse temperature, which is around 1460F for the what we made in this video.

[@ellenpreston124]

the fiber paper allowed the air to escape??

[@RadioactuveToy]

The glass becomes mailable and can flex a bit, allowing the air to push its way out. Two glass pieces would become like a thick paste and any air would either be trapped or form a hole were it broke through the glass.

[@maggiebannenberkowitz9254]

How would you do pine needles?

[@WarmGlassStudio]

Good question. Give it a try and let us know!

[@joannecarson5568]

A very fun video! Don’t forget to pinch the nose and adapt the sides of your N95 mask to your face. If you leave a space around the mask, it can’t protect you properly. Happy fusing!
