Is there anyone online that is doing kiln cast glass? I'd like to get
info about this way of working with glass. Jim Bozeman

It would be almost impossible to cover all the ins & outs of kiln cast
glass in a newsgroup response. .....not to mention it's off topic for the
length and scope of the response.
I would get a hold of Boyce Lundstrom's books, library or whatever. They
will give you the most information in the least amount of time. I go back
to mine for reference constantly. If you're serious about casting, you'll
need them for your personal library.
Kiln Firing Glass (book 1)
Advanced Fusing Techniques (book 2)
Glass casting & Mold Making (book 3)
They're all available from Seattle Pottery Supply if other sources don't
pan out.

Jim,
There are a lot of listings if you do a search using a search engine
like InfoSeek. True, you have to sort through them, but you can find the
info if you look. Several months back I was just out surfing and came
across a site that gave the basics of glass casting in an eletric kiln.
I just went back to the site and it appears there is some info removed
that used to be there, but there is still some basic stuff there. Try
going to:
http://www.art.net/Studios/Sculptors/Stina/
The basic process is to create an original in wax, cover it with clay,
burn out the wax, turn the mold right side up, fill the oversized cup
with broken glass, heat to temp and let the glass in the cup melt down
into the mold cavity. Once it's cooled (very slowly) gently break away
the clay shell and then polish, polish, polish.
good luck
Kim
