Ceramics Handbook: Slipcasting by Sasha Wardell

Ceramics Handbook: Slipcasting by Sasha Wardell

Learn new slipcasting techniques to create a wide range of beautiful and individualised pieces.

In the past, slipcasting was primarily considered an industrial method. Today, however, ceramic artists are adapting its techniques to create a wide range of beautiful and highly individualised pieces. Sasha Wardell clearly explains and demonstrates the techniques involved and shows you how they can be adapted for the studio workshop.

Full of colourful images, this book gives you a thorough grounding in all aspects of mould making and slipcasting. Get inspired by the work of an international group of artists which illustrate the breadth and versatility of the work that can be created. This second edition also contains a revised chapter on individual approaches by well-known contemporary artists.
