size.
Using the color chart on the back of your
portfolio select a color scheme
• Complimentary

Locate glass to fit your color
scheme
• First try to find it in the scrap cupboard
• If it is not available ask the teacher to
check the full sheets area.
Trace the template onto your
background color
• Try not to waste any glass.
Cut out the template exactly
• Use the same background color for both pieces
• Grind off any sticking out edges
Create a simple design to apply
with other colors
• You can reference sumi painting for ideas
• It should be asymmetrical
• Use elements of the same design for both pieces
Glue the design onto the
background template glass
Place finished designs in green turn in box
next to the fusing kiln
After firing, retrieve your fused pieces from
the green shelf and locate the slumping
molds
• Slumping molds are
located in the grey
cupboard next to the
tool station
• Use caution as they
are fragile and
expensive
Coat any non blue molds with one
thin coat of release agent.
• Be sure to have the teacher show you how
to mix the release agent in a 1-5 ratio.
Place fused items on the appropriate
slumping molds and place in the grey
cupboard
After the slumping phase:

• Apply nylon stick on feet.
