In this video, Karen walks through the steps of firing glass cabochons with Phoenix Torch Fireable Clay™. Because Phoenix can fire at low temperatures, it is the perfect candidate for co-firing with glass.

Directions for firing Phoenix with Glass:
If firing with glass, place items on a piece of ceramic fiber kiln paper, such as Bullseye ThinFire kiln shelf paper.
Fire at 1300°F / 704°C for 15 minutes and anneal using the no-peek method if you want your glass to remain unchanged.
Fire at 1450°F / 788°C for 30 minutes and crash-cool anneal using the crash-cool method if you intend to fuse your glass to the silver.
No peek method: Leave the kiln undisturbed until the interior temperature is below 200°F / 93°C
Crash-cool method: Open the kiln door about 2 inches and watch as the temperature falls. Once it reaches 1100°F / 593°C, close the door. The temperature will now begin to rise. When the temperature stops rising, open the door again and allow temperature to fall to 1100°F / 593°C. Repeat until kiln stays right about 1100°F / 593°C. Do not open door again until temperature is below 200°F / 93°C.
