Average Customer Ratings:
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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great Technical Book -
Sasha Wardell is top in her field and shares her expertise in this great book. This book is fairly technical and the explanations are mainly in diagramatic form with the odd photo so could be harder for the beginner to follow, but if you already have a good basic understanding of mold making and want to take it a step further then this is the book for you. There is a great section on Individual Approaches which has some lovely photos of other artists work which are rather inspiring.
