Min Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I came across a technique I haven't seen before where glaze is poured and swirled around inside a mould then slip is poured in after it. Anybody know anything more about this or is doing this? It's from this site: http://thedesignfiles.net/2014/11/the-serene-series/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Fireborn Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Very beautiful. I would like to feel the textures on the plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 It winds up being quite smooth:) One of the instructors at my college did something kind of like this, only she'd paint coloured casting slip on the mould in a deliberate fashion, and then top it off with the regular casting slip. I believe she still glazed on top of this kind of decoration, though. Pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yeah, I have seen the coloured slip brushed or poured in then lined with plain slip but hadn't seen it done with glaze. It seems like it would be difficult to lay down an even thickness of glaze. I'm not sure what the advantage of doing it this way versus using coloured slip then a clear glaze over would be. I also wondered how the cobalt slip or glaze would stain the moulds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae Reich Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yes, reading the souped-up description of the process by a non-potter (amazing, miraculous) it seems like the term "glaze" is used loosely. The vases are said to have paler colors and a matte surface while the plates are gloss with brighter colors, so the plates definitely have a glaze coat, as they should. It's obvious from the pics that the plates are colored and glazed after casting and not in the molds. I think the color is colored slip in three intensities, mixed thinly (see the pour-off from the plate), and it looks like the mold sits on a thick foam pad on a banding wheel being jiggled and spun by those essential helpers.
