How to Make a PLASTER MOLD on the Wheel
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Learn how to make a plaster mold on the wheel with this plaster mold making tutorial. I also show you, briefly, how to mix plaster. Making plaster molds can be messy and time consuming but this technique makes it EASY. I had this crazy idea and it actually worked pretty well. I made a mold completely on the wheel. No clamps, no wood boards, no table needed. It made the plaster nice and round too. If you're making round molds give this a try.

Wow, so simple, yet effective. Well done, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the smart tip!! This is really useful, I use to do jiger for the molds but it was so complicated. This is shortcut!! 🍾
I appreciate this version of mold making. It saves resources and looks so much nicer than the big square block mold.

Love this! I'm in the process of making several slip casting molds of larger objects but want to make a bunch of coffee mugs and smaller items in the near future and this is perfect!!

No I don’t. I don’t use them so I’ve never had a reason to make them. I assume you could throw a ring wall of clay and just fill it right there on the wheel. 🤷♂️
I'm a complete newbie, trying to soak as much information as I can before trying playing with clay in my basement (no workshops in my town :C) Could You make a follow up video on how to use such mold? Thanks! :)

I used for casting a bowl with a built in foot for a handful of casts. I don’t use it anymore.
Hi Jim! =) That's a fantastic video and thank you so much for showing that method. Did you say that you throw the clay on a plaster bat? How do you manage to get the plaster mould off the bat at the end? I always thought the plaster surfaces would stick and I wasn't sure if you needed to add some mould soap or something to prevent sticking. Hope to find out more from you about this. Thank you so much!

I threw it on a plastic bat. I talk pretty fast and slur my words sometimes. It came off pretty easy. You can add plaster on plaster but you need to add mould soap. I use Murphy’s oil soap. At least three coast and wipe off in between. Thanks!

@@CeramicJim thank you so much for your reply Jim! =) do you have any recommendations for plastic bats?
Make a small mold/drying bat or let it dry in the bucket and then throw it away.
Can you make slip mold that you would pour into it? Is it just clay watered down?
@CeramicJim

You could pour into this mold if you wanted to. It may be hard to get out due to the foot but I’d have to try. Slip IS just watered down clay but slip for casting is modified a little bit with what’s called a deflocculant so it casts better.
With the finger grooves you made in the clay, how do you get the slip cast bowl out of the mold?

They’re not deep enough to cause an issue. The foot right however was a little difficult with casting. I don’t use this mold anymore.

Any tricks to cleaning up the extra plaster? I'm worried about putting any down the drain

Just let dry in the bucket and it should pop out later when you throw it away.
