Working Notes Upon firing, silver foil turns a golden color wherever it is in contact with (001015) Alchemy Clear. On the sample tile above, the left side illustrates silver foil after being fired uncapped on top of (001015). The sample’s right side illustrates silver foil after being fired between a layer of Clear (any style) and (001015), with (001015) as the cap. (Faint blue color may be evident in any fired work containing 001015.) Expect variations in effects to result from different sources and thicknesses of silver, glass production runs, and heatwork (including firing times, temperatures, and number of times fired). For color development, we recommend a 1 hour soak at 1225ºF / 663ºC in the pre-rapid heat section of a firing cycle. Note: When firing silver foil in the kiln, be aware that the silver reaction can travel across the glass surface and onto the kiln shelf, potentially affecting silver-sensitive glasses in one or more subsequent firings. This can happen even when new shelf release (paper or primer) is applied to the kiln shelf. When fired between layers, silver is generally more contained and less likely to affect the firing surface. REACTIVITY WITH RAINBOW IRIDESCENT COATING Because iridescent coating acts as a barrier, don’t expect much reaction when using silver directly against this coated glass. That said, the silver might still make contact with the glass through thinner sections of the iridescent coating— resulting in pale gold effects caused by (001015)’s silver reactivity. Results vary widely, both in terms of the effect’s strength and color.
