Kiln fired glass, or warm glass as it is also called, is typically done in an electric kiln at temperatures lower than ceramic temperatures. 1300-1500 degrees F is typical. (For reference, Cone 04 is about 1900 degrees F and Cone 10 is about 2350.) Because of the lower temperatures involved, all ceramic kilns are capable of firing glass. However, electronic controllers are particularly useful for glass firings, as the temperatures have to be controlled precisely during certain stages of firing. Glass kilns usually have an element in the lid. This is especially important for glass fusing, where different pieces of glass are combined into a single agglomeration by heating them to the point where they soften, and a flow of material occurs across each piece. During fusing, the lid element is turned on high so even heating occurs across the glass piece.
A sample set of kiln fired enamels to try out painting on glass. The set includes 5g / 1/8oz in each of the following colours: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Turquoise, Black & White They are all intermixable and made with water friendly medium, which makes it great for painting, rubber stamps or printing. The enamels fire at around 650-720�C / 1148 - 1328�F and are compatible with most types of glass, although testing is advised. The beads featured in the image are made from 104 COE Effetre/Moretti glass, which
GLASS MAGNET LADYBUG This glass tile magnet is hand painted and kiln fired, ensuring a permanent, brilliant colour and shine. No varnish or sealers are required ? the paint is melted into the glass at high temperature. It measures approx. 5cm (2 inches) square, and is 4mm (1/8th inch) thick - plus the thickness of the quality magnet attached to the base. It has been designed and painted by South Australian artist Julie Pritchard. There are six designs in this series: ?fish ?bee ?snail ?ladybug ?butterfly
