Press moulding, Ceramics
This is my press mould using the press moulding technique. I created a surface by inlaying,
calving overlaying and pressing into the clay creating any abstract marks. After
I had finished that possess I then turned everything over on to the plaster mould
and joined the separate pieces of clay together knitting it to make sure there wasn’t
any gaps. Using the kidney I then smoothed the mould to have a smooth looking
affect.
Ceramics Slab building
This is my slab pot I created last week. Firstly, I got my
clay and rolled it out. Getting inspiration from my abstract work I drew using
the shapes rectangles and ovals and then mark marked into the clay. After I completed
this I measured it, cut it so id have 4 new pieces. To create the vessel I had to
firstly make sure I cut the edges on a 90 degrees angle so the corners fitted perfectly
together when put together. I crossed hatched all sides using slip to put them
together. I really liked this type of building and going to take my ideas
further.
