Slip-casting & Mold-making for Ceramics

Slip-casting is the process of pouring liquid clay into a plaster mold in order to create a ceramic form. The process allows the creation of functional items like mugs and bowls as well as simple to complex sculptural forms. Students will then learn how to slip-cast ceramic forms from existing molds as well as creating their own. Slip-casting is for advanced ceramics students who want to create intricate design-oriented work as well as repeatability in their creations.
