glass casting

[@erinrflynnauthor1]

You are an EXCELLENT teacher. I needed this for research reference and you were awesome to understand and follow along with! Thank you!

[@mustangally1]

Great video, NM Clay. Helpful and concise, without a lot of excess blah blah. Thanks and greetings from Santa Fe.

[@gingerferrell1562]

This is a great concise way of making an open cast glass mold. Thanks.

[@mcharlesbachman]

7 year old tutorial but much appreciated I want to make some glass leaves for a Tiffany Boston Ivy Lamp. You have a very simple way to begin. I found someone to fire for me, but she said the mold is up to me. Thanks!!!

[@glasslinesmadhes]

Like the simple casting and recycling of colourful glass . I think glass bottles can also be artistically shaped as you wish.

[@angeldcarocruz2319]

Thanks for posting you video. It help me a lot😀

[@donnamason8643]

Amazing, thanks so much for sharing. God bless. ♡from texas

[@rmarsh9997]

I just done a little snooping around ..there are several misconceptions about molten glass...one person said platnum was only material that would not stick to glass.Graphite is used in making molds for hot pours .It can be used in this type of melting in microwave too,

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

At New Mexico Clay www.nmclay.com. the clay is Smooth white earthenware (WLO)

[@Hannipp]

Great tutorial. I`m just wondering about two things.. Did the mold survive the process, and if so how many more could you make with it? and when you put the glass into the mold, it looks like green bottle glass.. but the end figure is more blue? is there a special reason for that?

[@carkirsch77]

Hannipp The clay mold usually does survive the fire. If you are working with “dental” quality plaster or silica, doesn’t! But you have more detail.

[@bugs181]

Great video. Would love to see a way to shine the glass.

[@g-rated7667]

I think this is done later by doing a firing in the kiln that gets it hot enough on the outter layer of the glass, but not enough to completely melt it. The lizard would need to have hit feet on the ground in order for the top of him to melt slightly, giving that glass coat shine.

[@mm-gx1ol]

Do you dry the mold first? When I fire low fire clay without drying it itll normally splode!

[@Defiant00cfm]

Great video, but do you expect from a great state! As I watched your video I thought maybe another way to crush the glass would be in a rock tumbler with ball bearings inside. Like a ball mill. I do mesquite beans like this and I think id would also work for glass. Just an idea I had. Lol

[@herbfellows6435]

Could you add food coloring or ? to the glass separator, so that you can see exactly where you have covered more easily? As this stuff dries quickly, it can become very hard to see where the coverage is in all those nooks and crannies.

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

Yes we do it all the time, the food coloring burns out.

[@mikefromspace]

If you polish the part with a wire brush wheel on a grinder or drill to remove debris, then re-melt the glass with the back of the sculpture up this time, on a flat surface ofcourse, can this smooth at some point without becoming a puddle of distorted nothing?

[@kimcoffee-isaak2921]

I wanted to see you remove the finished piece from the mold. Can you reuse the mold or do you have to break it to get the finished piece out?

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

Yes the mold is re-usable, thats why it is better than investment (plaster) molds

[@Pbab7609]

your voice reminds me of Meg from Hercules. its awesome.

[@g-rated7667]

Thanks Herc, it's been a reeeaaall slice.

[@brandonaustin7213]

Really good video, I was wondering the annealing temperature or do you just let it cool for the 960 until it's room temperature

[@lindaschaefer7917]

You must hold 960 for 45-1 hour to remove stresses in the glass.

[@stefanpoulin1277]

Great tutorial. At what point or size would you recomend adding ventilation holes?

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

Vent holes are more for glass slumping, not glass casting.

[@zoleroid7027]

Would this be possible with the clay I make from dirt and with a wood fueled kiln, also known as a brick square over my campfire

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

The glass will not melt till 1600F so I doubt it.

[@SwimmingUpCurrents]

Thank you for posting! I am making a mold for a 3'x2' slumped glass table top at the moment... do you think the process differs for that scale, or should the glass mold release work regardless? Thank you again!

[@yvanimperionetti7204]

So cool! good art but what get me is the music can i have the name please thank you and keep doing what you are doing its just plain gorgeous art

[@zoewahl7214]

I’m very new to firing anything. When you fired the mold you went to cone 4 and when you fired the glass you went to 1600 degrees. Did you use a ceramic kiln for the mold making, then a glass kiln for fusing the glass or did you use a ceramic kiln for both firings?

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

We fired the mold to around 1700 f (all modern Digital kilns can fire by temperature)

[@Susanirusta]

How would you polish it if you wanted to?

[@serrakoyuncu9832]

Would the mold be okay in a microwave kiln for glass fusing?

[@g-rated7667]

Yeah, as long as it fits.

[@juliehoward5020]

I can’t hear what you’re saying about the kiln temp and how long?

[@henrypalmer1831]

Do you have to reapply the liquid formula afterwards each time you use it? And would this would in a microwave kiln (providing size was big enough)?

[@ericpham5410]

Would oil make a better non stick coating?

[@sabrinaflipse7732]

so did you bisque the mold? and then fire it into ceramics without glaze? before you used?

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

Fire the clay mold 100 degrees hotter than you plan to use it.

[@feywerfolevado6286]

Doesnt molding glass in a mold, like molded steel, make it extremely inefficient and easily breakable?

[@RandomLensProductions]

nice video!, do you fire the mold? or air dry?

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

Fire the low fire clay mold to 1500 F or so

[@cheriblack927]

guessing that the reason not to just pour the glass resist liquid into the mold and then pour it out is that it would form too thick a layer and you'd lose the fine detail?

[@g-rated7667]

Yeah, it gets chunky as clay absorbs the water out of the mix.

[@austinhosp1680]

would these molds work for lampworking? would i need to leave the glass in the mold in the kiln or would it not stick if i just press in for a quick shaping then pull out to continue working?

[@BlackCat_2]

This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I make my own clay sculptures and have been wanting to make molds of them for glass fusing. Question though - what happens if I fire the mold I am making too hot? Will it break? Is it possible to do it too hot? I am still learning about this mold making for glass fusing/slumping etc. - Heidi

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

The hotter you fire the more brittle the mold is and it may not give you as many firings. The great thing about this is you get to re-use the molds many times.

[@BlackCat_2]

New Mexico Clay Thank you so much for that information. :) I will be getting some of the clay soon after the new year so I can practice. :D Until then my spare money is mostly tied up in getting Lego's for my Lego crazy son. :)

[@motorpenny]

Nice, do you use a special clay for moulding?

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

We used WLO available from NMClay.com, any smooth, earthenware will work.

[@motorpenny]

Thkx, but than you can only use it one time.

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

No, we use it over and over.

[@oceanebruel4417]

@@NmclayAlbuquerque Hi! could it work with stoneware clay too ? is the temperature in celcius degrees or Fahrenheit ? thanks! great video

[@Labradorite_Honu]

@NewMexicoClay, will it always have a chalky/milky look to it? Can a shinier exterior surface be achieved by buffing? Just wondering. And thank you for sharing!!

[@goeth89b]

I hear 'crystal clear' product unifies exterior texture, thus enhancing clarity.

[@andobtw8046]

I feel like you should've filmed the firing, it's the most important part of the whole process :/

[@Tylerownsface]

+Andywolf530 You put the clay in a kiln and adjust the temperature. Not much to film. cdnpix.com/show/imgs/3485aaf8e319d4d45464c975f6104ba5.jpg

[@maladjusted6391]

+Tyler Maran Just nice to see.

[@blakey1888]

this is exactly the information I was looking for. personally I see no need to watch them turn on a kiln.

[@ludo3911]

I agree

[@LaurelCanyonMojo]

I was curious about that too, especially what size kiln is needed.

[@nadaadecirr]

I don't understand the clay is grey after white, it is because it dries? i have a microwave kiln, can i put it inside without melting?

[@nadaadecirr]

***** ok thanks

[@sanslabel]

nadaadecirr Microwaving clay is not advisable. it has to dry thoroughly before firing it to bisque temperature. Any moisture within the clay will turn to steam in a microwave and potentially blow up inside it, and most likely wreck it. .

[@melindaforster1240]

Do you think I could just fire the glass in greenware with glass release if I do not want to fire twice.. as the glass will reach melting point but not the clay?

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

Better to not risk blowing up the greenware

[@ztyy8185]

Wow! How come the ladle didn't melt? What material is it made of?

[@animalmother556x45]

What ladle?

[@billhopen]

IS MOLD REUSABLE or do you have to break cly to get glass out, can you recast another lizard in the original clay mold?

[@NmclayAlbuquerque]

The mold is reusable hundreds of times, the glass releases if you use "glass release" kiln wash. And have no undercuts.

[@pamelamcclusky2926]

nice work

[@BluePickleZ]

I wish you showed the firing process

[@lindaschaefer7917]

It differs depending on the mold, I do : 300/hr to 1350 - hold 45 AFAP to 950 hold for 60 (anneal) turn of kiln until cool to open These work for me, but you need to keep good notes and figure out your schedule. This is a good starting place.
