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.
