Book Description
Like being in a studio workshop setting, through these pages readers
are taken into the ceramics class of a fine school and given extensive,
step-by-step lessons in basic and advanced molding techniques.
After
reviewing materials and tools needed for molding, the book's next four
chapters present four different techniques: wasted mold (for models of
clay, polyurethane, and other materials); press mold (for a tray, a
tile, an animal, and other sculptural forms); casting mold (for a
bottle, a teapot, and other modular forms); and terracotta mold (for a
bowl and relief work). Included are practical tips for setting up a
good work area in the home.
