Last post by Nicknack - March 05, 2021, 07:20:38 PMI can't find it there now, either, sorry. Try Bath Potters, they do a metallic lustre. The gold one should be fired last, at 500-600 C. You use a paintbrush. Hope that helps.

Fusing Tips and FAQ's / How to fuse with gold/silver l...
Last post by Flowers - March 01, 2021, 01:51:29 PMHi I hope you are all well.
I often see beautiful plates and dishes with gold and/or silver writing fused on or into them
I would love to have a try and saw one advertised recently on Etsy where they say they use 23K gold lettering. How is this done? Where does one buy such a thing? If anyone could shed some light on the technique, what sort of gold and silver is used and where to purchase such products that would be super 🙂
Many thanks

Last post by Nicknack - January 04, 2021, 11:51:35 PMSo sorry you're having to give up! I agree with the advice given, but, if it's fusing stuff, then Fused Glass Enthusiasts UK on FB would be a better group. There are often studios up for sale on there. Sometimes people ask if you'll split, can they have the moulds/glass/kiln etc., but you can decide if you want to, or if you'd rather it all went together. Best of luck!

Last post by Lynnybobs - January 04, 2021, 02:59:31 PMSorry to hear you are selling up but Moira has given some good advice there.
You could put some feelers out there on the destash Facebook page and see if there is any interest in the complete setup as a first step?
I guess money is tight for a lot of people just after Christmas so maybe smaller lots would sell better.
Good luck
