October’s kiln carving pattern is sheer fun. Zombies are always a source of entertainment around here, from the informal competition to tell the WORST zombie joke ever to mock brain eating’s. I’ve taken it one step further and designed a kiln carving just for Zombie Lovers.
This is a medium difficulty pattern that does take some care with the details.
Step 1

Step 2
Cut a piece of fiber paper large enough to accommodate the entire pattern. Tack securely through both layers on a razor proof surface (I use a sheet of cardboard).
Step 3
Carefully cut and remove gray areas. This is best done with a brand new razor or X-acto knife blade. Fiber paper will dull your blade quickly!
Step 4
Cut around outer border
Step 5
Cut glass to fit, clean and fire using a full fuse schedule.
If you cut very carefully, you can use the removed gray area to make a reverse kiln carving and have TWO sets of zombies for the same effort. Zombies aren’t known for working hard, so take advantage of this two-for-one thing!
