Detergent. Then dry and set aside on a clean piece of

wash to the mold, set aside to dry.

If possible, leave the kiln sit unopened
until the next day so your project has had plenty of
time to anneal back to room temperature.

Step 3: Decorate
Base with Grapes and Leaves
Layout the Glass pebbles/nuggets and leaves on the surface
until you are satisfied with your design. Then using
a small speck of Elmer's glue position each piece.
After
the glue has dried, using a medium tip on the brown
glassline paint, draw in the stems. We also added
vein lines in the leaves.
Tip:
It is ok if not all of the lines come out as
desired. Let it dry then with a simple tooth pick
rub off any undesired amounts to change any shapes or make
the lines thinner. Brush off anything loose before
firing.
Tip: It is important to note
that you need to make sure to touch all glass pieces by
the outer edges to avoid finger oil or prints on the
surface of the glass.
