This is the bug I made my plaster mold from. Notice how the porcelain slip cast one is a tiny bit smaller? Clay shrinks a tiny bit! That's why my first slip cast bowl cracked, cuz I left it in too long and it shrinked around the under cut. With my bug, it has no undercuts, so I can leave it in the mold. :)
I'm happy to say that none of my cocoons or caterpillars blew up! They have all been bisque fired, and are now ready to be glazed. I just hope that there are enough stilts for me to use, because I want to dip these guys in glaze.
Slip cast bowls and a couple bugs ready to be bisque fired. Those are Judi's awesome owls on the right!
Project 3: thrown on the wheel. I made a series of variously sized bowls which each have a saying on them from either American culture in English or Irish culture in Gaelic. Goin' back to my roots. :)
There's some more thrown bowls.
