Slumpfest Project 2: Stamping Glass

Mixing stamping medium and high fire enamel	Erica Biery demonstrated her glass stamping technique for us on the second part of day 1 at SlumpFest. It is a fairly straight forward technique, but has some great looking results. The steps are listed under each picture. Once you have stamped your piece it remains liquid. You could gently rub mica on it, or if you don't like the way it came out you can spray on 91% rubbing alcohol to clean off your glass. When you are ready to make your stamp permanent use the following schedule. Segment Ramp Temp Hold 1 9999° 1300° 1 Once finished be sure to clean up all tools with the rubbing alcohol, you can then let the equipment soak in soapy water for a bit before drying everything off. Leftover stamping enamel, because it remains liquid, can be saved for future use.
