Hello to All ,
just wondering , has anyone tried applying
glass frit at a low temperature to a sand
shape and after the firing , removed the
sand body to leave a glass bowl behind ?

Dear Khaimraj Seepersad,=20
I suggest you research "Pate de Verre". There are articles in some of =
the old ceramic magazines and there has recently (Within the last ten =
years) been a popular revival of the process. I understand that =
Magnesium carbonate or magnesium oxide are used as parting agents to =
prevent the glass form adhering to the silica mould. Also, ridged =
ceramic fibre can be used as mould material.
Best regards,

"Glass Casting and Moldmaking," by Boyce Lundstrom, describes sand
molds in great detail. I was reading his book just last night. I
highly recommend it. You can order it through Amazon.
Sand casting is used successfully to make glass objects. You can do
this in a small digital kiln. The book describes the entire
process, for anyone interested in trying it.

Khaimraj,
Bullseye Glass sells a book on "Pate de Verre", which is fairly
comprehensive. Deborah Horrell taught a class here at Penland last summer
on the subject.
Thanks,

This thread on pate de verre intrigued me, so I did a search and came up
with http://www.warmglass.com/pate_de_verre.htm, which has instructions.
