Polyhedron 7 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Are these made with slip casting? How do they make holes like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liambesaw 2,753 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Probably slip cast, but still need to cut with a scalpel or xacto Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liambesaw 2,753 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 There would be indents in the slip casting that would guide you. Otherwise just draw a pattern and cut it out. Rae Reich 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Callie Beller Diesel 2,548 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I imagine the rounder shapes were probably sketched out and done freehand. The pieces could have been thrown and had those openings sketched out and then cut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyK 685 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 If you look at the bottom part of the front most vase in the second pic, you can see indentations in the surface. The slip cast piece probably has those indentations which can be used as a guide for making the cutouts. That is how I would do it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
