Kiln Carving Pattern for March

Happy St. Patrick’s day!  In honor of my family heritage (you did see the McRaney up there, didn’t you?), here is the free kiln carving pattern for March.  This pattern is slightly more difficult to cut than the pattern for January, but still quite straightforward.

1.  Cut a piece of fiber paper big enough for the pattern.

I used 1/32″ fiber paper for this particular project.  Tack the pattern over the fiber paper through the black tack dots.

2. Using a very sharp razor knife blade, cut out the gray areas and remove.

Careful!  Watch your corners and bridges!

3. Place in the kiln under a nice piece of glass and fire.

Here are some firing schedules for recycled glass if you aren’t sure where to start.  I use a full fuse for this project.

Dealing with Scrap Glass

If you've made glass art for any amount of time you know there is always a ton of scrap waiting to be processed. Add to that the complication of working in recycled glass, where your glass is rarely compatible across pieces, and what do you do with all of that scrap??...

State of the Studio – Week 2

Sometimes, ok, most of the time, I look at the giant mess and have no idea where to start, so I just pick a spot and work my way around the room in one direction. Works as well as anything I suppose. I this case I started with the giant table. This is a dream of a...
