Slip, a water and clay solution, is poured into porous molds. As the mold absorbs water from the slip, a layer of clay forms a cast. The excess slip is removed from the mold and the cast is stiffened, removed, dried, and fired in a kiln. Since the molds can be based on anything from delicate sculpture to found objects, slipcasting frees artists from the constraints of other ceramic techniques while allowing them to create multiples of their works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSasha Wardell's \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSlipcasting\u003c\/span\u003e is a straightforward, practical guide for those interested in the boundless possibilities of the technique.
