Thank you for a great video !! Can I ask a question please, I’ve only just got into this and I dived in and bought a large MWK working area 11cm. I have a 900 w microwave but never have I had a glow like you got, is my kiln too large ? P.S. I wish I lived in Devon as I’d be at your classes !!
@corrinethorneglassartistАй бұрын
Hi Marion. With the large mins they can take a while. I have a 700w micro. I do 8 mins at 350, 8 mins at 500 then a couple mins in full but keep an eye to see how it's going. You just carry on in 1 min bursts until finished X thank you for watching!

You can add ceramic fiber around the kiln and fix with heat resistant tape (3d printer base) to keep it cooler in the oven and keep its heat outside.🤗😇

I have just been given a MKW kiln from my hubby. I have two ‘big girl’ kilns, as you call them, and am pretty good (lucky) at running schedules. My question for you is how long does your kiln take to cool down from this full fuse heart. I still have to purchase a microwave to run some tests, but am curious about the number of hours I’ll be waiting for the anneal and cool down. Your video tutorial is the first I’ve watched…thank you for taking the time to explain each and every step, I really appreciate the time and your expertise! Cheers
@corrinethorneglassartist4 ай бұрын
Hi, all of the MWKs are different but I'd say roughly 5 hours to cool fully. I tend to leave mine until it is completely cool. The difference really is the annealing as we can't control that. Also with the larger pieces like these hearts, it's best to cover the hole with a tile or hiln shelf to help slow the cooling down. Hope that helps x

Thank you so much for this tutorial-I learned so much. I have a question about the fiber paper: what thickness do you use? I am going to order these supplies from warmglass: could you please specify what fiber paper you use and what thinfire-I am new to this, it will be my first time and I am going to follow your tutorial for my first project ever. Thank you so very much for your time and for your tutorials-I just "discovered you" and I am delighted and grateful.

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. The fiber paper is 1mm thick but you can get it in other thicknesses. The paper is called bullseye thinfire. They do it in sheets which is the most economical. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching x

What does 'slumped' mean in a kiln?

It's heating the glass to allow it to slump down, normally in a mould, like a bowl etc.

Hi, got my microwave kiln for xmas last year and am really enjoying using it. I am getting more adventurous now so would be very interested in a set of Tabitha glass bits and pieces. Thank you
I recently had the good fortune to meet a glassblower who's been willing to give me his COE96 scrap (a full 5 gallon bucket, about 50 pounds), so melting his scrap to begin my own projects is really helping to keep some costs down. Plus, every piece is unique due to the mixed colors in his scrap bucket. I do sort by size (3D printed sifters) and a rough color sort into ROYGBIV as well, but there's a lot of blending happening when I melt and cast pieces.😊

Thank you for watching. You can place, real silver foil, brass sheet, copper and steel in the microwave kiln. They are protected within the kiln. Silver, copper and brass go in your glass as an inclusion, you can get different effects. The steel has to be stall less steel, not galvanised as that gives off toxic fumes. The steel has to be lined to be used with glass as a mould x

If I am correct, you stacked 2 pieces of 'tree trunk' but the trees themselves are only 1 piece? Is that right? If so, why? I'm not sure when to use 2 pieces vs 1 piece. I am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you!

Hi thank you so much for watching. I used 2 pieces as the brown is only 2mm thick, but the trees are 3mm. I love them to keep textures so the more even in height they are the more chance there is of having the same level of texture when fired. I say a bit about the 6mm rule in this video and the one showing how to make jewellery x
