Slip-cast molds are multi-piece molds capable of making very intricate shapes and textures. When the mold’s components are joined and secured securely, slip is poured into the mold, allowed to set for some time, and then released, where additional hand work may be done on the piece. To learn more about slip casting, see below.

WHAT IS SLIP CASTING:

Slipcasting or slip casting is a technique for producing pottery and ceramics, especially for shapes not easily made on a wheel. In slip casting, a liquid clay body slip is poured into plaster molds and allowed to form a layer, the cast, on the inside walls of the mold. Slip-cast ware should not be confused with slipware, which is pottery formed by any technique that is decorated using slip.

The technique is suited to producing complex shapes, especially with relief decoration and thin walls. The technique can be used for small-scale production runs, to make parts for adding to pre-thrown objects (such as handles for mugs), or to produce limited edition, one-off objects.
