I'm new to the ceramics world, my mom and I got lucky and bought a ton of molds and a kiln as well as paints and I believe pre-mixed slip? It came in jugs, and so I am a bit concerned for creating a proper consistency. I don't have a fancy mixer set up, is there a way to mix slip by hand and then determine if it's appropriate consistency for use within the molds? I don't imagine the jugs of clay and water will have gone bad, it's just clay and water after all, but I do imagine we will have to spend some time on properly mixing it and playing around with pouring it into the molds by hand as well as experimenting with how long each mold takes to set. I believe all our molds are plaster, and I anticipated that they'd take days to set so learning it could be on a timeline more so of hours was quite the shock. I have no idea how low to let the slip go for most of them, and the fellow who sold it to us never quite hammered out the specifics himself. We also have no idea what the type of clay in mixture was used, but I hate to let so many jugs go to waste so we'll use them to practice before making better pieces. Thank you for your video! It has been very helpful.

Literally as soon as you remove one cast, put the mould back together and cast again. In a warm, dry workspace you will get several castings per day. Eventually the mould will become saturated and you'll need to rest it to dry it out, you'll notice that when the slip takes ages to absorb, and perhaps you see little air bubbles in the surface of the cast item when you extract.

It would be possible, but quite an undertaking. You'd have to make the mould in sections, using strong plaster and bedding the original in clay. Even after all that, you would likely not get a great detail as the original would have a coating of glaze which would smooth over sharp details. I would suggest it would be a lot easier to source a ready made mould or a replacement bisque item.

Hi Nigel, different clay shrinks at different rates. Earthenware doesn't shink that much, but a higher temperature clay like Porcelain will shrink quite a lot, especially when being fired. To cast a mould you do need to consider the detail, insofar as making sure the mould is still functional and can be separated after casting without damaging the form. A very detailed shape may need to be cast from several separate moulds and assembled together after casting. Almost anything is possible though!

And had some success, but recently I have noticed that some of the greenware gets tiny pinholes and then, (because some cups doesnt have it) there are SOMETIMES also pinholes on the glaze. If i got it right, those tiny pinholes are the result of air bubbles or pieces of dust in the casting slip, right? But i wonder, do those pinholes influence the glaze? I am a bit confused, because some of the porcelain cups are not having those pinholes on the glaze and some do have. it fires hire than it should and moreover fires unevenly. pinholes on the greenware?

Hmm... well, it depends on the size of the piece.. as you say the item may not get through a firing as the heat needs to get to the centre at the same time as the outside of the piece. If this does not happen the rate at which the piece heats up will be different and so the expansion of the clay in different areas... in some cases this will crack the item and in extreme cases the item will explode. The solution is to fire reeeeeaallll slow, so the inside and outside heats up at the same rate and you may well get away with it!

The temperature you go to is less of an issue, however the rate of ascent is likely to be the cause of any cracking. Slow the rate and then adjust the top temperature to match the heatwork generated in the kiln. If you are taking longer to get to temperature, then, yes, you can conclude the firing at a lower temp and get same heatwork as firing higher-quicker.

It depends which plaster they were made from, how much detail is in the plaster and what the specific gravity (clay content) of the slip is. Plaster is porous. It has to be in order to absorb the water from the slip. This means that naturally it will wear. More noticeable on detailed items. Choose a strong plaster and go for high bodied slip for the best mould life. I would say some plain moulds I have I am still casting over 100+, yet would not get perhaps more than 50 from a detailed mould before I noticed detail fading.

Could you tell me where you're from? I buy slip from companies that make slip. It is so thick that you can't pour it. If you do stir it down until it gets more liquid, it thickens within minutes and you can't get it to drain. I stir and shake and carefully take a dowel and try to make it drain. I don't know what to do. I have made slip in the past and I can make it work better. I'm not setup to make it all the time for myself so it's best for me to buy it premixed. I think there are ingredients that by law the companies are not allowed to put in, because years ago, it was always wonderful . I have been doing ceramics for more than 50 years so it's not like I'm a novice. I teach ceramics at one of the rec centers even at 75.

Hi Diana, we make the slip we use onsite. That way I can make and adjust it to our liking. We actually use an Italian clay because it has a great compatibility with the Italian clear glaze we most often use. Slip will change in consistency from day to day. One day it will popur fine, the next it will be a thick as yoghurt and not want to move. that is where you need to check the Specific Gravity (weight) of the slip. The Specific Gravity will show you how much water and how much clay is in your slip. Often a slip may appear very thick, yet the Specific Gravity will suggest you have the perfect amount of clay to water, this is when you need to add deflocculant, which is like a magical liquid which will thin the slip without altering the S.G.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:03 🏺 To cast ceramic shapes, use liquid clay (slip) and plaster molds. 00:28 💧 Ensure the slip consistency is right; not too wet or too thick. 02:30 🚰 Be patient with slip flow; it thickens as it's mixed. 05:38 🏺 You can cast ceramics at home with basic tools like a jug. 06:19 🧰 Rubber bands can be used as mold straps. 07:50 ⏲️ The time to let molds set varies; monitor the slip level. 08:30 🌧️ Setting time depends on factors like mold dampness and previous casts. 10:04 🛡️ Thickness of the piece's clay film inside the mold matters for durability. 13:38 🧱 After casting, let the pieces dry; drying time varies with size. 22:33 🎨 Glaze-fired ceramics show hot spots if slip wasn't moved during casting. 25:08 🔥 Firing temperature depends on the clay used; bisque firing is around 1020°C. 26:35 🧽 Proper slip preparation is crucial for successful casting.

The type of mould soap I have chosen over the years makes a big difference. Some that others recommended I can't get the hang of. I use a 'magical' liquid which I have no idea what is in it, but works for me.. so my advice, is.. if you are struggling, try a different separator.

Eduardo, thank you for taking the time to comment on this video! If I may.. you could help make the world a better place by simply finding the videos you 'are' interested in and adding "nice" comments instead of sneering, negative ones. I don't doubt it's in your character; underneath your trolling, unappreciative, misogynist attitude, there's a kind hearted, lovable chap just bursting to spread some positivity. Have a great day Eddie.. x
