- Explore the world of kiln carving with this easy-to-follow demonstration by Megan at Warm Glass UK.
In this project, Megan uses 3mm Fibre Paper with 3mm Bullseye Clear Tekta to create a simple but effective impression. Try experimenting with our huge range of Bullseye colours - in sheets, billets, powders and more!

SAFETY:
Here at Warm Glass UK, we only use Bio-soluble fibre paper. Bio-soluble Fibre Paper is not the same as Ceramic Fibre (which we have never sold). The fibre paper we sell is made from an Alkaline-earth Silicate Wool, unlike Ceramic Fibre, AES Wool is biosoluble and if inhaled does not accumulate in the lungs. This is an excellent and safer alternative to ceramic fibre but it will not withstand the higher temperatures required for processes such as pot melts. Whilst AES is considerably safer to use than Ceramic Fibre, it can be itchy so we recommend using a FFP3 Dust Mask and cleaning up using a vacuum with a HEPA filter.

Thanks so much for the info !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! 🐢
Hi! Thanks for the introduction to kilncarving that I was looking for! Also, thank you for the resources available on your website. I found the document from Bullseye there and have looked it over. One thing you might want to mention, that they mention, is safety. This is from that document...
HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTES:
WORKING WITH CERAMIC FIBER PAPER
Ceramic fiber paper can act as an irritant to the
respiratory system and should be handled with
caution.
• Avoid contact with skin.
• Avoid breathing residual fiber. It is best to wear a
respirator designed to filter out particulates.
• Brush the unfired paper surface or loose fibers only
in a well-ventilated area or out of doors.
• During its first firing, the paper will give off a small
amount of smoke and aroma. This is the organic
binder burning out. Good ventilation in your studio
area will ensure that the odor and smoke will
dissipate quickl
Hi Laura, thanks for your comment, safety is very important when using Ceramic Fibre Paper. Here at Warm Glass UK we only use Biosoluble fibre paper. Biosoluble Fibre Paper is not the same as Ceramic Fibre (which we have never sold). The fibre paper we sell is made from an Alkaline-earth Silicate Wool, unlike Ceramic Fibre, AES Wool is biosoluble and if inhaled does not accumulate in the lungs. This is an excellent and safer alternative to ceramic fibre but it will not withstand the higher temperatures required for processes such as pot melts.

@@warmglassuk Thank you! That's great to know. Maybe you could add that info to the video info box in case someone is a newbie and doesn't know the difference. Maybe even a link to the fibre paper you sell. 💖
In the example of the nautilus shell, do you sprinkle your frit or powder on for color at the same time you're doing the kiln carving in the same firing? Thanks, this is very creative.
Hi Kristy, yes you would sprinkle frit or powder on at the same time 😊
The best! Your Team is Great at this. #love x3
I have been cutting glass and mirrors for 5 years in Vietnam. Can I work for you?
Hi
Lục, thanks for getting in touch, we don't currently have any vacancies but keep an eye on our page here: www.warm-glass.co.uk/working-at-warm-glass-cms-277.html 😊
Why do you kiln wash the fibre? Is it reusable?
Hi Michelle, this is so that the fibre paper easily releases from the glass when it's fused
@@warmglassuk it's just I thought it was release agent in itself, so thanks! I would have used it bare! Would the pig (or wharever) be reusable?
@@michellestack4040 You're welcome! The fibre paper usually burns off slightly in the kiln so would not be reusable. We do offer a product called SilkeMat which is a more reusable alternative but slightly harder to cut to shape for kiln carvings: www.warm-glass.co.uk/silkemat-fibre-blanket-p-6315.html
