Polyhedron Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I posted some questions a few months ago asking about tips about slib casting. People were very helpful and thanks to this forum I created my first pieces, thank you for introducing me to this world! I still have a lot to learn and improve, but I am happy how they came out. I have contact now with a professional ceramist to see if I can take this to a next level. I also created a page (http://urchinceramics.com/) to see if there is interest for a small production run. If you have any cool tips on how I can promote this ceramic piece, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Is the first photo your slipcasting and sevond photo a commercial piece? Good luck with your venture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Is this just a test? Great idea and pot. Is this an original design? The issue I see between the two pics ss the pour sprout. The 2nd picture shows what I think is a better execution of this. Way to go on figuring all of this out, have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinanoel Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Love it! Beautiful design. Signed up for your notification list. Also - it would be great to see a video of it in use - is it messy? Since you're pushing laterally rather than down, is it tricky to use? Would also love to see it pouring - spouts are so hard to craft with clean pour. I've been trying to make a little milk pourer for about a year now and every single one just kind of dribbles.

Yeah, it is a first test to see if it works. The design is mine. I want to clean up the edges more for the next version. I already redesigned the model, but I have to make a mold out of it. 47 minutes ago, kristinanoel said: Love it! Beautiful design. Signed up for your notification list.

Good idea to have a video. I get that question a lot, so that will clear it up. It is quite easy to use actually. I will work on a video. Thanks for the subscription!

Stephen Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Its a cool design, bet it sells well. If you are doing this to build a company and brand you might approach your video as a marketing tool to build backstory as opposed to talking to other potters. People that buy handmade tend care about the fact that what they are buying didn't come out of a million square foot factory in China. YouTube is a great place to post your video and embed on your site. Good luck, be sure and post your video so we can check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Reich Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 That is just the prettiest little juicer I've ever seen! Ergonomically, picturing the cocked elbow/downward pressure needed for the usual juicers as opposed to the lateral arms positioned as needed for your design, it would appear that you've built a better juicer!! Congrats, hope you patent it and sell a bunch. (There's some science to getting the pour spout drip-free. That would make it perfect!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
