Since last Saturday I have been slumping wine bottles for cheese trays - up to 8 so far with one in the kiln now
So far all green flat bottles - tomorrow will attempt pattern clear bottles again - see if I can get about 10 of those ready for the 17th mini show at the school Hoping for a total of 20 cheese trays
Need to work on a couple of things to prep and get ready for the quicky set up we have to do as well
I have picked out my next kiln - the sort of mid size before getting the really big one
A Paragon CS19D - is a Clamshell as well as a top loading - this should suffice for next years big purchase - I'll be able to do at least 3-4 bottles at a time and be able to slump some nice plates and trays that I want to do - I want to get back into painting larger pieces as well
my eye is on a really nice tray the "LENA" glass slumping mold - I may get some mold before the kiln shows up
That looks like a nice kiln. I have the Lena mold and like it The first time I used it, the glass slipped from one corner. I was lucky I looked in the kiln and saw it ... Something I never did before!
