Maple Leaf - Fused Glass Mold

This maple leaf fused glass mold casts a solid 4" leaf, a little piece of Canada in glass. Fill it with your favourite glass, then add frit, stringers or murrini for veins and fall colour. It's an original design, handmade by me in small batches.

What You Can Make

• Canadian-themed gifts and souvenirs
• Fall and Thanksgiving table décor
• Canada Day keepsakes in red and white
• Leaf clusters for a shelf or wall display

Size & Details

• Finished leaf: about 4" across, solid with no hole
• Mold: 5" across, so it fits easily beside other projects on your kiln shelf
• Airflow notches underneath, so there's no need for kiln posts
• Want to hang your leaves? Try the maple leaf with hole, which casts the hanging hole right in.

Tips for This Mold

• Streaky reds, oranges and ambers make a glowing autumn leaf.
• Lay a dark stringer down the centre for a leaf vein before you fire.
• Keep pieces fairly flat and away from sharp points pressing into the leaf tips.

Fill Weights & Firing

Prep the mold with ZYP before your first firing. Use 85–100 g of glass for a tack fuse or 100–120 g for a full fuse. It works with any COE of glass. Your fill weight and firing schedule come with your order, and the full schedules are in my free tutorial: How to Use a Fused Glass Casting Mold: Prep, Fill Weights & Firing Schedules.

How My Mold Drops Work

I release my molds in drops. When a drop opens, you place your order and I get to work making your mold by hand in my studio. If you can add this mold to your cart, the drop is open.

Sold out? Tap Notify Me When Ordering Reopens on this page and you'll get an email as soon as this mold is available again.

Each drop stays open until the studio reaches capacity, which usually happens on drop day, so don't wait.

Production time: about 2–3 weeks after the drop, plus shipping. You'll get an email as soon as your mold is finished, boxed and ready to ship.

Orders of more than 6 molds may need extra shipping because of package size. I'll be in touch if anything needs adjusting.

Don't miss the next drop. Join my First to Know list and you'll get the date and time before anyone else.

Thank you so much for your support. These molds are truly a labour of love. Michelle
