Graphite Marble Molds - Bowl Style

Heat and work a blob of glass on the end of a glass rod into the marble mold hole. Actually many artists rotate the glass on the rim of the hole, not needing to go to the bottom of the hole. (Also works for shaping beads on the mandrel by riding on the rim of the hole.) When rounded as much as possible, punty on the rounded side (use a small attachment point) and remove the glass rod used as the original handle. Finish rounding by reheating and shaping. Repeat the above procedure until you are happy with the shape. Break off the last punty, keeping the marble in the marble mold, fire polish the glass nub left on the marble. Put marble in an annealing kiln. Made in the USA Place an order now.

Cherrywood Marble Mold

Cherrywood is the traditional material for glass blowers molds. Soak wood in water completely. The molten glass will ride on a layer of steam making a low friction connection but the wood will char over time. The Cherry wood has a smoother action than graphite but will eventually burn up. Some people like using this marble mold without a handle. You can rotate the glass and rotate the mold for a faster motion. The wooden handle can be removed by sawing. See the description above for usage. Place an order now.
