Back to Casting

I decided it is worth testing some ceramic decals on cast glass to see what difference, if any, it makes to the depth of colour. I have tested another decal at 820C but it has not had any significant effect on the end result. I am thinking that it may be better to double up the decals to get a deeper colour. I will try this soon, when I can afford to order some more. The last batch cost £27 for four A4 decals.

 If anyone out there has had experience of this or applying decals to glass, please feel free to offer advice, as all will be gratefully received?

The next photos are of the mould empty and filled with frit ready for casting.






The mould was still too hot yesterday afternoon to remove from the kiln, though I will photograph it and the removing of the cast glass as soon as it is achieved.
