Slip cast bowls
My first successful bowl thrown on the wheel this summer :)
Wet clay arches to be recycled after throwing on the wheel. When they dried more I kneaded them into clay balls without bubbles ready to be thrown again.
The process for slip casting involves a plaster mold of the object you want to recreate. This is one drying.
This is my bug mold drying. I will post pictures of the bugs once I take some of them :)
My first slip cast bowl cracked because I left it overnight. I learned that if something has an undercut, then you can't leave it in the mold because when clay dries, it shrinks a bit.
