I made is this slumped 4.5 inch plate. It is made of melted glass chips called "frit" and coloured with green powder. It was flat after the first firing and I had to smooth out the edges and on the 2nd firing, "slumped" it in a mold (made the glass dip in the middle). I'm sure this is not all the proper terminology, but just what I understand. I found this to be a fun and easy project, but would want the glass to be less thick (it's ~ 2 cm) and more slumped (more dipped). If I can figure it out in time for Xmas, I think it would be a great gift.
