Students really love to learn how to use molds because it can help to make a piece they are proud of. You will see in some of my later posts, some more unique ways of using molds. We teach hump and slump methods, and then we also use bowls, baking tins, etc using release like vaseline and a thin plastic wrap to easily remove their projects.
This student used a plaster mold to make a bowl and then glazed it.
The same mold, but finished quite differently
A two part Plaster mold, student chose to leave the flange
It is usually easy to get students to make leaf bowls, they are easy, quick, and everyone seems to be successful. These were made with combinations of hump and slump molds.
