I nervously tried glass slumping last night, and this is what I found in my kiln today!!!! Not perfect, but not bad for a first attempt!!!

looks good but what is glass slumping????

Gorgeous hun x

It’s a method of melting a sheet of glass with extra frits down into a mould Claire! Takes many many hours in a kiln, and at the moment its very experimental for me, but once sussed, I’ll be able to make pretty bowls and plates from glass!!!!

Wow it’s stunning Gaynor!

Thanks Louise. Just ordered more supplies, can’t wait to try again!!!!
I may end up with a few I use for candle holders until they get good enough to sell LOL!!!!

How clever. I am most impressed. Where did you learn to do this?

Wow that’s gorgeous!

Thank you.

I’ve not had any lessons in this, I just followed some basic instructions for glass slumping that came with my kiln, and then experimented a bit LOL!!!! Hence te rough edges at the moment!!!

Well I think it is fabulous. Well done.

Wow…it’s absolutely gorgeous. And I love the colours.

gosh that is clever, Ithought me be able to make a never ending card was amazing!!!

Awww, thank you! A long way to go yet, but will enjoy playing!!!!!

Just found this gorgeous glass bowl.
I love it, Gaynor.
Brilliant.

Thanks Kate and MT.

I’ve another one lined up to try this weekend. The glass is all cut and ready to go. So I’ll run the fusing schedule tonight, cool tomorrow, and then run the slumping schedule Saturday night. Fingers crossed I find something nice in the kiln on Sunday

I think youve done a fantastic job for your first attempt and i think its stunning…it sounds very hard to do but im sure your going to be great at it and will be doing more fab peices it really doesnt show that its your first attempt your doing great xx
