| COLOUR DE VERRE BOX MOLDS | ||||
| Colour de Verre molds are re-usable molds for glass casting. These molds offer high quality craftsmanship and innovative designs from small pottery studios in Portland, Oregon rather than large offshore factories. Colour de Verre's box molds come in two parts; a mold for the base and a mold for the lid. These molds can be filled with any size frit, sheet glass, or broken billets. Even glass scraps yield excellent results. Check out Colour de Verre's Gallery Page for some amazing creations using these wonderful box molds. Colour de Verre molds can be filled with glass powders, glass frits, dichroic frit or cut pieces of glass. Each mold comes with instructions and fill weights. Primo Primer is highly recommended by Colour de Verre for use with their molds. |
