Cast


Casting slip into a plaster mold yields perfect results nearly every time.  It's a fun and great way to learn about the casting process.  After casting from several pre-made molds, I found myself asking; "Now what?",  "What's next?", "How can I make this into something of my own or add my artistic voice?"

Ceramic artists place a high value on: 
Hand-made vs. Manufactured
One-of-a-kind vs. Reproduced

The artists below have taken casting and mold-making to an entirely different level.  Altering their original casts, combining various casts, adding hand-built components, etc.  They are juxtaposing subjects to create surreal and original works of art from molds.
