Title: General Crib Sheet for Fusing & Slumping Firing Schedules - USEFUL
Post by: Zeldazog on February 12, 2012, 12:32:29 PM
Hi All

Just came across this on t'interweb... I thought it was good for explaining how fusing and slumping schedules work, without being aimed at a specific type of glass.

http://www.glasscampus.com/tutorials/pdf/Creating_a_Firing_Schedule.pdf (http://www.glasscampus.com/tutorials/pdf/Creating_a_Firing_Schedule.pdf)

I'll be adding it to my information file!

Thanks for that.  It looks most helpful to help understand the processes involved.

Although I have to add its like many of these things, it unrealistic to think you can learn it overnight. It took me a year while I was doing my degree, of firing things literally everyday before it all clicked and I understood what was goIng on inside.

Added to my list  of useful info - I have to say I enjoy the Learning process involved with fusing. A little tweak to the program here and there band see what you get I am always thinking I wonder what would happen if - it is so much more than cutting and stacking glass and putting it in the oven ;D ;D

I have been doing a fusing and slumping course at Uni, but I have no idea about how to actually set my kiln, so this is useful, thanks
