Best known as one of the most widely used industrial ceramic
techniques, slipcasting has become increasingly attractive to
individual artists and craftspersons. Slip, a water and clay
solution, is poured into porous molds. As the mold absorbs water
from the slip, a layer of clay forms a cast. The excess slip is
removed from the mold and the cast is stiffened, removed, dried,
and fired in a kiln. Since the molds can be based on anything from
delicate sculpture to found objects, slipcasting frees artists from
the constraints of other ceramic techniques while allowing them to
create multiples of their works. Sasha Wardell's Slipcasting is a
straightforward, practical guide for those interested in the
boundless possibilities of the technique. The book contains more
than one hundred color illustrations, diagrams, and slip formulas.
An inspiring "Individual Approaches" chapter discusses the slipcast
work of a variety of contemporary ceramicists from around the
world.
