about slipcasting

Slipcasting is a process that involves pouring liquid clay - slip - into plaster molds. I make the original piece out of clay, then from that piece I will cast a plaster mold for slip. The slip is poured into and out of the mold to build up the surface thickness and then carefully de-molded. As well I hand build bowls and platters, created from slump molds, stamping and press molds.
