Do glazes "expire"?
@jenettemorganclassroom Жыл бұрын
I have not experienced any glaze going bad, though they do sometimes separate or dry out. If they dry out you can re-add water and mix it up. Do be careful about very old glazes because they can sometimes include ingredients that were considered standard at the time but have since been discovered unsafe and phased out of manufacturing.

If you don't mind me asking what's the point of creating a mug or cup made of plaster if it's not food safe?
@jenettemorganclassroom Жыл бұрын
Are you asking why would a person make pottery that is not food safe? Perhaps for aesthetics, exploration, or just for the sake of art. People make all sorts of useless art because of that deep innate urge that pushes us to create. If you are asking about a "cup made of plaster" I think you misunderstood the process. Plaster molds are simply a tool that clay is poured into in order to form it... the plaster is not what you eat or drink from. The pottery that takes shape inside of the mold, and is eventually removed from the mold, is what a person would eat or drink from, and its "food safety" is determined by the type of clay, the firing schedule, and the glaze used on its surface.

All of my plaster molds have been donated. The rest of the time I use styrofoam dishware as a cheap alternative because I work for a public school and my budget is very limited. Plaster molds can be very expensive. I recommend Amaco or Mayco for buying new plaster molds, and auction websites for used ones.

Sorry for the late reply! Printer paper might work if you cover the back of the page with a thick layer of graphite. The challenge would be seeing the shiny graphite on the black scratchboard.

So what about the parts you left unglazed? How will you glaze the inside? Any part of the pot that touches liquid, or touches your lips, needs to be fully glazed. I think this person is a newbie at ceramics. And it shows.
@jenettemorganclassroom2 жыл бұрын
You're welcome to your own opinion, but I don't think it's fair to judge my content knowledge from a single video cut down for classroom use. For your information, after the tape is removed we fire the mug for the first time in the kiln to "set" the glaze design. Then we cover all of the bare areas in a clear glaze. The inside is student choice. They can glaze the inside a color or just continue the clear glaze up and over the edge. I educate my students on the importance of glazing all surfaces to seal them. I just didn't feature all of that in one video because this video is just one portion of a process that extends many days in the classroom. My videos are first and foremost meant for classroom use. If someone benefits from them on KZbin that is a secondary benefit.

@jenettemorganclassroom2 жыл бұрын
Sorry for the late response! Clamps would also work in place of rubber bands or a universal mold strap, as long as you trust their strength. The trick with a clamp is it would probably tilt the mold - the lower "jaw" would go under the mold but above the table. If your mold sits at a tilt while full of liquid clay, it can cause the clay positive to form differently, depending on how the slip touches the mold. If you can elevate the mold off the table while clamped it would should work without issue.

For anyone watching, I recommend using a damp makeup sponge (clean) instead of a tissue for wiping away ink crumbs and white transfer chalk. When I filmed this I used a tissue, but many tissues have lotion ingredients built into them and leave shiny residue behind. A brand new makeup sponge, lightly dampened with a misting of water, is super soft and should clean away residue without damaging the delicate surface of the scratchboard.

should probably empty the "used" slip into another container after it has been used a few times, so that at some point, you can add water to adjust the specific gravity of the slip.
@jenettemorganclassroom2 жыл бұрын
I agree. If there's a specific gravity you prefer for slip casting, definitely use it. I tend to just pour back into the container and eyeball it. When it starts to look thicker I add a little water and blend it. Knowing your specific gravity would be important to a production studio. We just make a few of these at a time in the classroom. But for those looking to do a lot of slip casting, learning how to calculate specific gravity would be a great thing to explore.

hi! loved the video! i'm very much new to all this so i have a few questions. do you still have to bake the pot or you can just leave to dry? and what do you do if you want to paint it? thanks!! <3
@jenettemorganclassroom3 жыл бұрын
You must "bake" the pot in a kiln. This strengthens and hardens the clay particles until they are vitrified. Without firing in the kiln, the pot would be extremely fragile and break at the slightest force. Unfired, it would also dissolve if any liquids came into contact with it. After firing, you can decorate the pot with paint or glaze. Acrylic paint would be cheap and easy to acquire, and wouldn't require a second firing. But acrylic paint would not be waterproof and should not be used as a plate, flower pot, etc. To make it waterproof and functional, you would need to paint it with ceramic glaze and fire it in a kiln. Glaze is more spendy and is a specialty item.

First I want to thank you for your answer. With respect to my answer posted earlier, I meant that most videos about ceramics uploaded on the web just describe the steps of the process, in order words they don't go beyond. We all know that the ceramic process is backed by scientific/technical concepts not taken into account to explain many situations that take place in a complex process like the ceramic one (industrial or handcrafted). For example I'm interested in knowing how to prepare a good slip, in addition to that I'd like to know all the technical concepts to be considered, that means TO KNOW "WHY". I think that if the artisans knew WHY, they wouldn't make so many mistakes throughout the process, and the best would be that they all could learn about the process and not to depend on a slip provider, for example. It´s relevant to take into consideration that ceramics in addition to the artistic/aesthetic element, has the scientific/technical one which isn't considered unfortunately, just because many people don't want to assume the challenge of going on beyond.

I think molding with silicone mold with plaster support is better cause you will get a beautiful detail.
@jenettemorganclassroom3 жыл бұрын
Making molds with silicone is an entirely different art form. The plaster and the clay work beautifully together because the plaster is porous and absorbs the moisture from the clay. Silicone would not absorb moisture from the clay, or the plaster would become clogged with silicone - whichever you mean.

Now, I need some more 5 mm thick flat bars (0,2"), which should be enough for the slab of clay ? As I have never made pottery from clay slab before, I would be pleased to know what thickness you are using for your job ??? Is 1/2" thick enough ?

Did you use any kind of release agent? Is that even necessary?
@jenettemorganclassroom3 жыл бұрын
The plaster is somewhat porous, so a release agent is not necessary IF you give the clay adequate time to dry/firm and shrink. The plaster is absorbent, and trying to use a release agent would probably hinder its ability to absorb the moisture. I have found checking for a slight gap at the neck of the mold is a good indication that the clay will release easily. If I try to pull the positive shape out of the mold while it is still wet, it is more likely to cling and tear.

The only difference between the two is moisture content. The slip does not retain any particles from the plaster. So it will be a little thicker, and I would do well to add a little water into the jug and blend for the most uniform consistency. Some pros have a big basin for reconstituting slip and hosing it into molds, but we just use the jug of slip until it's gone.

As I understand it, clay is the only thing you should cast in a plaster mold because it is the moisture absorption of the plaster that causes the clay to harden. Other substances can be cast in molds, but they are usually in non-stick silicone molds. Trying to cast another substance in plaster would probably cause a permanently stuck object inside the mold. The plaster wouldn't release it.
