- Want to make Murrine in a kiln? It's easy. As long as you don't want the design of a dog in the middle. In this video, I make a custom mould and then some Murrine for a future project.

💥 Burn Off Firing Schedule
Just ramp up AFAP to a high enough temp to burn off. I went to 700C, but lower will work.
💥 Full Fuse Firing Schedule
#1 - 222 C (432 F) up to 535 C (995 F), hold 30 minutes
#2 - 333 C (632 F) up to 805 C (1481 F), hold 10 minutes
#3 - Full down to 482 C (900 F), hold 90 minutes
#4 - 65 C (149 F) down to 425 C (797 F), no hold

I thoroughly enjoy your videos - always very informative- down to Earth - you are a credit to the Glass Hobby and I am sure to the World in general
Thank you. It's always great to hear that it helps. Great for motivation. Thanks again.
Very cool! I bought a murrine mold years ago - still haven’t used it - i think I will try it now after watching how yours turned out!!! TFS!
Go for it!
I enjoy watching your videos, very informative.
Thank you Mary. Nice to know they help.
I admit, I snort laughed when I saw "And the fumbling continued as the battery died. Lucky you."
Hi Stephanie. At least life is a little more humorous now. I have this clown walking around with all the time. 🙄
Technically millefiore or thousand flowers is a type of murrine pattern created using a fluting mold in a glassblowing studio. It creates a starburst pattern in alternating colors and the combinations are limited only by the fluting molds you have on hand. They're dip molds. Like an ice cream cone shape with ridges inside. You dip the glass in and press down and it takes the interior ridges of the mold as it's outer ridges. Let that cool and dip into an alternative color and then dip into a bigger one. great video man appreciate you
Hi Josh. I have huge respect for glassblowers. I've watched many videos and have to admire their skills. Must be a fantastic skill to have.
thanks for making this....,I am about to try!
Hi Jackie. Have fun!
Thank you for all your inspirational videos.
Thanks Sharon.
Again thank you so much for your time in making these videos 😊
Hi Susan. As always, a pleasure.
Thank you! You and your wife never disappoint💕. Had my husband watch so he can make me SS mold! Thank you so much ☺️
My pleasure Diane.
I've got an "experiment" running in the kiln at the moment. I bought a 12" (30.1cm) stainless steel spring form mold on Amazon and I want to see if it will work as a circular dam for making 11" disks I use with a fluted bowl slump mold. Future project is to slip cast a smaller fluted bowl ceramic mold in order to make a service set of a bowl and some matching plates (matching geometry, abstract design). Love your videos! 👍
Hi Bob
Because steel contracts more than glass you can have problems with your glass getting trapped. Stainless with certain styles of moulds isn't ideal.
However, I expect you won't have that problem with a spring form, especially if you lined it with fibrepaper. That has some thickness and will allow for that contraction.
Good luck with it. Hope it all goes well.
@@RocketRoseArt Since the glass is inside the walls of the mold, it should be OK; the glass disk will be where the cake batter would have been. The plan after that is slumping in a fluted bowl mold (gm254 creative paradise).
Dealing with contraction/shrinkage has been an interesting challenge with both ceramics and glass. Decades ago when I was a carpenter building formwork for overpasses and other large concrete structures, one of the biggest challenges was learning to think about how the forms could be removed after the concrete set and cured. Shrinkages was not a problem, but trapping forms was all too easy to do. Of course, there are some freeway sections that have forms still encased as removal would serve no real purpose and would cost a fortune. I'll let you know how it all goes and submit photos later if it all works out, or if it's a total fail... :)
Another fabulous video - thank you!!!!
Hi Melissa. Glad you like it.
Great idea , Going to try that to. love it
Go for it!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am looking forward to seeing the project you made with these.
Hi Kimberly. Thank you. This is the video czcams.com/video/wIEyNhWsWJs/video.html
Awesome!!!!!! Thanks for making this!!!
My pleasure Andrew.
Thanks for another amazing video! I have a mold that I got in an estate sale that I've never used. They would be perfect for this. You've given me the encouragement to try them!
Hi Carmen. Glad I helped.
Before time slips away, I want to thank you for all your videos plus the art work I see you have posted on Pinterest. I hope you & your wife, have a very Happy Christmas & an exceptionally better New Year!
Thank you Jim. Best wishes for you and the family as well. Hope the new year is better for us all.
Un lindo disparador de ideas!!! Felicitaciones!!!
Gracias
Great video, you can never have enough murrine. There is great consistency of pattern along the whole rod which doesn't happen with a vitrograph . I replaced the spring from my tile nips with the bigger one from a pair of secateurs and it made them a lot easier on the hands. There is a murrine of the Devinci painting, Madonna of the Rocks somewhere on the internet which is really worthwhile having a look at.
Wow! What can I say. Did a search for that De Vinci piece and found so many unbelievable Murrine canes. There are some amazing artists out there. Great inspiration to try other things.
How innovative! I’m sure my husband could make me something like that mold. Jamaison Schumer has a CZcams video showing how to make a container to use with your nippers that keeps the glass from flying everywhere.
Hi Gwen. Tell him it's easy and thanks for the tip.
HoW do you know when it is truly stainless steel. . sometime it Ssay so but it isnn,t. Good work. I learn a lot
Hi Helen. I know stainless comes in a number of grades, but sorry I can't give you a method to know the difference. However, to test for my use I put it in the kiln and take it up to processing temp. If it scales I don't use it. If it just blackens then I use. Hope that helps.
Can I ask why you only used stainless steel for the moulds. I used galvanized house stump damp and insect caps which I first treated with boron nitrate and it worked really well for a bowl/plate. These cost under $5 at Bunnings. New to your site and loving your very methodical presentations. I got into fused glass during the Covid lockdowns after watching my wife have fun. Totally hooked now and trying everything. Regards.
Hi Philip. I found normal steel scaled a lot. Flakes come off and in some circumstances end up in the glass. It oxidises much more where stainless discolours but no scaling as far as I've found. Yes, it's a bit addictive.
Thank you. I was thinking of using stringers but I wasn't sure how to keep them together in the pattern I wanted. I wondered if sellotape would leave marks as it burns of?
Hi Debbie. I had same thought, but was going to try high temp wire. I'll do a test and try soon.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowlege. Great information and something I would really like to try making. I enjoyed watching your tutorial.
I hope you don’t mind but could I ask you the whole firing schedule you used? You mentioned a full fuse, and I hope you can inform me on all the segments you set up.
Thank you very much in advance, kind regards
Jacqueline
Hi Jacqueline. The full firing schedule ins in the description for the video. Hope it helps.
Superb!!!!!! Thank you for taking me along your journey and sharing...No funds for a vit, so this method is something I can do :) Does the mold have to be stainless? Love to see what you created with the murrin! Take care!
Hi Helene. It needs to be something that withstands the high temp of the kiln. A purchased mould will probably be bisque ceramic. If you can find something ceramic in a store with the right shape that'll work. You could shape some fibreboard. I've never tried other steels, nor brass. I understand normal steel will flake off bits that get in the glass. So maybe not a good solution. Aluminum is no good. It will melt.
@@RocketRoseArt thank you! Too bad we don't live closer I'd ask you to make me a few to purchase.
@@helene650 Shipping's the problem. I assume you're in the US and the cheapest from here is 21 AUD.
Hi do you know any materials or videos to help with making murrini in a ceramic tube - for the kiln - NOT FOR VITROGRAPH, OR TORCH, just for stand up tube murrini in the kiln? please and thank you!
Hi Brenda. I've never tried ceramic tube. It is available through a search, but I'm unsure if any glass will come out easily. Maybe if it was lined with Thinfire or something. Would love to know how it goes if you try.
@@RocketRoseArt thanks very much, will be trying/testing soon-standing up and laying down to see the difference
