Wine Glass Painting With Glassline

I want to do some wine glass painting. I'm thinking about using Glassline and need a kiln firing schedule to follow???? Where would I buy the glass to use? I was going to go to Libbey. Is there a way to know what I will be using? I have a Paragon kiln and also a Olympic larger kiln.

Milly's reply:

Thanks for your question. I'm afraid I haven't heard of Glassline - is it a normal stain glass paint, or something different? Can anyone else help us out here?

I can help with a kiln firing schedule for wine glass painting with standard paint for glass - sometimes called glass enamels. Your Paragon kiln will be perfect. Any glass can be fired in a kiln. The main thing is to make sure that the wine glass isn't too thick or has a variation in thickness. If it does, it doesn't mean you can't fire them, it just means that you have to be a bit slower and more careful with the kiln firing schedule.
Take the kiln up 100 degrees C per hour to 100C, then at 200C per hour to 550C. Turn the kiln off, it should retain enough heat for long enough to anneal naturally.
If you have a thick wine glass, or one with varying thicknesses in the glass, go up 100C ph all the way up to 550C, and control the descent, taking 3 hours to go from 500C to 400C. If the vase is big, take longer to anneal at this stage.

Good luck, I hope that helps.
