Ceramic Review: Masterclass with Sasha Wardell

[@bigred6815]

That is the best mold making lesson I have ever seen. So neat and complete.

[@ceciliajunqueira600]

This lady is impeccable and also her work . Flawless 🧡

[@awesomekidsot3587]

I have no idea what she did and how that results in a mould

[@scottgray6276]

This whole series is marvelous! I'm eager to try her plaster/water ratio....that build-a-mountain method usually gets me into trouble!

[@ankiking]

I don’t understand how the mold and the bowls are connected. Hope someone can explain. Thanks!

[@theabristlebroom4378]

She uses liquid clay, called slip, which has been colored. She pours the "outside" of the bowl by filling it with the 1st color of slip, waits a bit (varies), then pours out the liquid. A thin layer of the slip will remain inside the mold. She repeats the process as many times as she wants with different colors, forming layers of colored clay. When it is thick enough, she will let it dry, causing it to shrink and pull away from the plaster. Then she carves into the pot revealing the layers of color.

@@theabristlebroom4378 Thanks!

[@lynseyadams6584]

Wow! Love Sasha's work - way beyond my capabilities. Thanks for sharing.

[@claudiariley5518]

How did you get the model back out.

[@dorashagena7920]

It seems like there is a step missing, and instructions are incomplete unless you pay very careful attention, At 9 minutes (aprox) I see the positive pops out a bit thus it is removable.. Ceramic arts network has another video by Sasha Wardell that is teaching the same method and I believe better.. Tried purchasing the back issue by Ceramic Review, no luck yet. Awaiting email response there is no doubt she know her stuff. Thank You Sasha,

[@theabristlebroom4378]

Once the plaster mold dries, the positive shape in the middle, having been coated with the soap, will loosen, and by knocking the mold upside down on the table, will pop free.

[@HappyGnoux]

Thank you for this very interesting video!

[@Pherine1]

Fabulous, I was lucky enough to take a course with Sasha a few years ago, and to own one of her pieces. I loved watching this masterclass, it has made me want to take another class :)

[@nutribabyasibooster8579]

Nice video to watch. What materials can we use to produce such good ceramic stuffs? Thank you so much.

[@mayabrewington2176]

Sasha, I love the flexible plastic you used, but I was not able to understand what it is. Could you clarify what it's called and perhaps where you acquire it?

[@ThecookinglabEs]

Maya Brewington i was looking for the same!!!

[@theabristlebroom4378]

She is saying "cottle" (which may be spelled differently!). Cottle boards are a way of making a walled space into which to pour the plaster. She is using "plastic sheeting" as a "cottle" because she wants a cylindrical plaster mold.

[@gillianhodes2627]

Great video. But how does she get the positive out of the plaster mould?

[@dorashagena7920]

Watch closely at 9 minutes. The piece must be soaped . She opens it on the wide end off the piece , so it may just pop out. (the model) . I am attempting to subscribe to the magazine and then you can view the full article in episode 292?. Waiting for 1st issue..hope this helped

[@BeastIt9]

You’ve almost convinced me that I could actually do this myself. Ha! I know better. Thank you, for your generous...thorough...post. Well done, indeed👍🏽 #sashawardell #brilliant

[@connieebinger6343]

Fascinating pieces!

[@Zager-recap]

I need to study foundations of this art, i have no idea about it, any recommeded books please? Thank you

[@audreyh6628]

If you watch videos on this channel and the Ceramics Arts Network you will learn a huge deal

[@beatrizcortezdekeller2993]

What a work! Excellent!

[@comeseiquandoaprileali2346]

This was sooo interesting! Thank you so much!!

[@karinbaomarambio1750]

Great video, thanks so much.

[@thumphreydable]

So very good! Thanks for the expert information.

[@raebenning6453]

I must be missing something - no matter how many times I watch, I don't see how she gets the original turned shape out? Otherwise great instructions.

[@clairebradbury11]

Very interesting. Thanks very much

[@mrsbeckydaisy]

Thank you very much. Very interesting video.

[@osmanyreyes8373]

Why is porcelain so translucent?

[@edstud1]

She has had some good technical training.

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

Why all these steps though?

[@farbodpor4621]

THATS my favorite

[@JF-cr9uz]

Lovely

[@incilakay2303]

Thanks👍🌹❤️

[@marcus3518]

It would have been a 1000X more interesting to see how the actual pieces were made.

[@THEWIELDBOYS8700]

I'm ready to do this LOL

[@KINGSTARGARDEN]
