| COLOUR DE VERRE PLANTS & NATURE 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. The mold designs have intricate designs deeply carved to provide exquisite detail to your cast glasswork. 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. |
