Slip Cast
Ceramics
Initial Concept sketches for kitchenware collection:
Each was sketched keeping the elements and restrictions of slipcasting in mind, taking into account undercuts, material stability and shrinkage throught process
Master models for each piece were meticulously hand-sculpted and then used to produce the plaster molds.
Plaster was poured around each master model to create a precise negative of the form.
These plaster molds were then used to slipcast multiple pieces.
Slip is poured into the mold and emptied once the walls begin to firm up, creating a hollow form.
The wooden components were crafted by hand as well, primarily on the lathe, where each cap was individually turned.
Glazes were chosen to support a timeless, understated design language that aligns with the overall vision for the collection.
