Fusing Glass into Standard Glazed Ceramics Found at Everyday Stores

[@debbiesteffen448]

The wavy ones would make gorgeous wind chimes❤❤❤❤❤

[@pdkempton]

These would make nice weights for wind chimes. Awesome!

[@kdozers]

Love that reminder to be a Fearless Fuser!!! I need that reminder.... FREQUENTLY!!!!

[@Ejwoodwork]

Hey, I went to the thrift store and form$40 I got the motherload of slump molds. I will sandblast and then paint the release on. Thx for your hints on Thrift store shopping.

[@gloomANDdoomed]

I've never purchased a "Super Thanks" before (I also never knew that was available -- neat feature!) but after I watched your video, I was thrilled to be able to give you a "tip!" This is one of the best KZbin videos I have seen in ages! I am brand new to fusing and stumbled onto this video -- now I can't wait to try this!!!! Your explanations were perfect: informative enough for a newbie, but succinct enough to get to the details without boring experienced fusers. Thumbs up on a great video!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Oh wow, thank you so much! Only a few have done that before and it is always a welcome surprise! Glad you found it so helpful!!!

[@loria474]

Hi Jamaison, I’ve had this video saved for almost a year intending to try fusing in a ceramic dish. The other day I found a dish at the thrift store and finally did it! I slumped a piece I had done earlier but thought it would look better with a concave shape. I followed your directions and it came out great. Thanks for sharing your fearless experiments. It helps us more timid fusers to step out and try new things :)

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Good for you!!!

[@kathianserello1553]

Waves for garden art under a sailboat, maybe but definitely wind chimes. Tear drop/ water drop as wind chimes dangling from a colorful small watering can I found some at dollar tree and general dollar

[@georgiahalvatgis968]

I love this video. Especially the pendant! Thanks for your time and knowledge and experimenting!

[@philcox2845]

Love this video. That pendant mould is amazing. Will definetly hunt for glazed ceramics next time I am in a thrift shop. I found some amazing see through free standing frames in one local store.

[@laurajones6486]

Can’t wait to go treasure hunting for some cool stuff. As usual very informative. Thanks.

[@helenarochester6366]

Love your video s I am dis able. I love gadets. Ikea has some of the best. I use lazy Susan of all size on my work bench. You will be surprise at the ease that they keep you organized and effective in getting your projects done

[@christyrueda6997]

Nice share .. the pucks look like they could be jazzed up with some tack fused elements or Murini and used as paper weights or designed into holiday ornaments. Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate them in into future projects. You are always creative so I am sure they will go into another awesome project.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yup, I already have an idea for them! 😉 I also thought about an ornament - great minds think alike!

[@Lisa-yj8dt]

Nice projects. You always come up with clever ideas. I think the flag pieces look like they would make nice book weights. The blue is quite pretty. Loving the pendant!

[@kathybidler8843]

Hey there Jamaison. For the Zip residue I use Barkeeper's Friend and a scrubber to get it off. Usually works. I'm always haunting my Daiso store for more goodies, check out the stainless too. Take care.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I like Barkeeper’s friend for the kitchen but never thought to try it on glass! Thanks!!!

[@mixedplate3417]

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed! super helpful.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Well thank YOU for the super!

[@herbalannie7707]

These would great to use in mosaics.

[@jayingwang8448]

Great video! Would love to see you use those pieces or other store-bought pieces as molds for slumping. I wonder if a cheap ceramic salad bowl would work as a slumping mold. I really enjoy your videos, it’s delightful to see someone who think exactly like me. I go to dollar stores, IKEA, thrift stores and look at everything as possible ideas for glass art projects. 😊

[@JamaisonSchuler]

If using for slumping, you would likely need to drill a hole or two into the bowl to allow air to escape. But yes, I’m sure you could slump in just about anything like that!

[@itchy711]

I agree! Wind chimes! I collect wind chimes

[@AnnetteRintelmann]

Thanks for your experiments and information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@galevarland4702]

Could etch with an etching paste to rough it up a bit maybe?

[@loria474]

Thank you for sharing your experiments. Love it!

[@donnamerlino1660]

I use Universal Mold Coat on any SS and glazed ceramic “molds”. I don’t use ZYP for anything as it is too pricey.

[@dianeseverns2382]

Thanks!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I’m so glad you like it - thank you!!!

[@margaritamilam7987]

The long strips could be used for wind chimes

[@mariaelenagutierrez4178]

Gracias por compartir tus experimentos.!!!!Estaba pensando en usar caolin como desmoldante y ver que pasa ?.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I do not have any experience with that but I wish you much luck! I like to experiment and learn new things. It’s well worth the time and energy to learn for yourself and discover new ideas!

[@mariaelenagutierrez4178]

Gracias.

[@StephFuses]

You could use the wavy ones as windchimes!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Absolutely, and even attach the droplet one to the bottom of each wave!

[@constancelucas2561]

Thanks for the great video

[@ladyceej]

I take some of the things I need lightly sandblasted like this to my local car repair shop. They will do a light sandblasting with fine grain for a small fee.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Great idea!!!

[@veroniquesoucy8807]

Hello Jamaison, How much for a bottle of Zip in US... in CA it is 70 $ + Tx ? Thank you ! And I did buy like you in a Chinese store a plate that I like to try.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

About $45 in the US, and I sometimes find it on sale or eBay or something like that. I always try to find a deal!

[@vanessamcgill9472]

Ps. What is the blue liquid you use to clean your pieces?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I really like this Spartan glass cleaning concentrate. Lasts forever! shop.bullseyeglass.com/spartan-glass-cleaner-concentrate

[@jasonhull1342]

Have you tried slumping in some of these ceramic molds?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

No, I have not tried slumping.

[@debbienix5790]

How do I find your firing schedule? I’m not sure where or how to find this info? Thanks I love 💗 your videos, they are very informative and fun! Thanks so very much for sharing!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

This detail is in the video notes on KZbin. If you are watching in the app on your phone, you probably just click the headline under the video. If on your computer, I think it’s usually in a gray box with “show more” under the video headline.

[@staceyferguson7754]

Thank you again....I have many pcs of ceramic that I was going to sandblast..sometime.. Whenever I got time hahahaha

[@margaritamilam7987]

This was very helpful I love the video

[@avril4421]

What is Zip? I’m a potter glass artist in UK. Always have spare glass fruit. Can you use unglazed ceramic?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

ZYP, boron nitride. And yes, most glassware molds are unglazed bisqueware, treated with kiln was or boron. I tried release agent so the glass doesn’t stick.

[@avril4421]

Thank you, I’ll give it a try. Make dichroic jewellery normally, always have some wastage., and bisque or glaze is easy too. Thanks. Thinking coasters.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Lots of great resources out there - just Google what you want to do and go for it! Love dichro!

[@Dulcilady]

Love these! Thanks for sharing.

[@mellisa9459]

I thought we always had to do a per fire, before using it to make anything?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Where did you pick up that idea? I’ve never heard that.

[@mellisa9459]

From a fusing person/ pro.

[@raineygh]

Would you run through some of your tools and studio supplies sometime?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I’ll keep this in mind!

[@eliettelebreron1691]

Hello, do you ever drill hole in the the plate or other you find in thrift store for fusing?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

No, never did

[@alexandraeglezos6779]

Can the porcelain or ceramic pieces be fired in a microwave kiln? Great video, thanks!

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Sorry, I have no experience with microwave fusing

[@faridafaizi7554]

Can kiln paper be used

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I think this would be hard to get the fiber paper cut well enough to cover all the ceramic surface?

[@marshasanders-leigh5757]

How do you tell the difference between ceramic and porcelan?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

I guess I don’t know how much that matters? Why do you ask?

[@vanessamcgill9472]

Wow this is fantastic! Did you spray your zyp or brush it? Love from Cornwall UK

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Spray ZYP

[@kathybidler8843]

Oh, no fire polish necessary with Barkeeper's Friend. 😉🙂

[@McGeeglass]

Kathy, am I understanding that you use the scouring powder in place of fire polishing? I’m trying to absorb as much info before I build up my nerve to plug in my kiln! I love barkeepers friend for my stainless steel! Thanks

[@kathybidler8843]

@@McGeeglass the Barkeeper's Friend is abrasive enough to remove the Zip residue, but not harm the glass. If you need to grind any glass spikes, those will need a fire polish. Plug in that kiln and have fun. BUT, if this is your new kiln, I highly recommend you take the time to make yourself a set of test tiles to see how exactly your kiln works. Great visual s of glass at different temperatures.

[@mellisa9459]

Do 7 have an email, I have something to share.

[@mellisa9459]

Thanks it was do you have an email, sorry bee. Busy

[@kathylittlemorecom]

Wow. Just wondering if small ceramics would work in the microwave kiln?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Sorry, I have no experience with microwave kilns. I think there’s a FB group for microwave fusing - maybe join and check there?

[@nachshoncohen7752]

Thanks!
