ClareUngerCeramics on Instagram: "Slab building with soft slabs requires some kind of mold/structure to support the form while it’s being made.
Here I’m making a hump mold from a plastic bowl that I like the shape of. I had to modify it slightly as I wanted the mold to have a curved base and so I used an existing piece of bisqued clay ( from a broken mold that I had in my studio) to do this. In an upcoming reel I’ll show how I make a bowl (like the one shown at the end of the reel) from this hump mold.

Elan Transfers on Instagram: "Who’s a fan of using foam to press mold pots? 🙋‍♀️

Watch 👀 as @lupineceramics adds our Fruit Transfers with a brayer and then she uses foam and a round ball to press form tiny plates! 

We love to use wind glass bottoms in the studio to make little plates. What is your go to form to use when press forming with foam?

Ceramic Artist & Educator on Instagram: "Sometimes I get really math-minded and figure out the 2D template for a semi-sphere or hemisphere first with a fair amount of guessing or testing but sometimes it’s more fun to just wing it!   If you’ve had difficulty getting a slab into a slump mold in the past, consider using larger slump mold first, and then tapering down to the more dramatic arc, then when you’re ready to put the slab into the slump mold, it’s already close to the slump shape.   Adding darts, removing the access and cutting diagonals will help to keep the seams hidden and create a uniform thickness throughout.  Be sure to compress in order to decrease warpage.   Using a banding wheel to decorate saves time and energy. I’m using a Shimpo. Glides like nothing else.

Melisa | Handbuilding ceramic artist in the SF Bay Area on Instagram: "This is how I start my spiral bowls. Before this bowl-in-bowl approach, I would try to place a flat slab straight into my slump mold and had a hard time getting it into the bowl shape without a lot of creases. With this approach, there are usually no creases and a lot less smoothing. 

Why not just use a hump mold and avoid this altogether? Because I don’t want to deal with the Goldilocks of drying a bowl on a hump mold just long enough to hold its form but not too long that it cracks (I’m a parent with a full-time job so I can’t always get to my pieces when I want to). 

And yes, I know that most people (all people?) make spiral bowls using a flat slab without a bowl. That’s a great way to make spiral bowls too—just no Pottery Projects, Pottery Inspo, Clay Bowl, Ceramic Bowl, Hard Time, Ceramic Artists, A Bowl, Hand Built, Ceramic Bowls
