Embossing and Slumping Stained Glass Greenman Square Bowl

My Evenheat kiln
The Rampmaster II computer controller I set for COE of 82
 
 I put kiln posts in place on the kiln shelf before placing the mold
I use boron nitride to coat the molds with several times before firing
The mold used to emboss the Greenman design placed in the center of the kiln on the kiln posts

The 12 x12 piece of stained glass is placed with the iridized side face down on the mold
The slumping mold placed on kiln stilts
The embossed stained glass placed on the square bowl mold with the embossed side facing up
The slumped piece in kiln after firing
 Finished product

Welcome

This is my blog site that I'm going to periodically share different things I'm learning as I progress as a glass fusing artist.  It will vary from time to time depending on what I'm interested in learning and trying as I experiment with new projects.
