This bowl has been made by slip casting the various components separately. When they’ve dried out a little bit you then assemble them together inside a press mold. It is a fun and very rewarding way to work because you can create the most intricate pieces that are both light and structurally sound. And of course you can use the method for creating sculptures and other art objects as well.
Another lizard bowl with different oxides and glazes.
I am sure that everyone has their own method of slip casting, but this is a post showing a bit about how I work myself and how I teach the method in my ceramic workshops https://annakeiller.wordpress.com/2011/11/12/slip-cast-bowls/
I will soon upload the new ceramic workshop diary, but please visit my website to find out more about the courses I run from my studio in Hastings.

Just seen that you live on the south coast near London. What town? As I am on the south(east) coast as well.
Also, did your customer like the bowls you made for them?

Hastings! And you?
Still haven’t heard from Bryan and Susan! So not sure. They live in Tunbridge Wells. They’d better contact me sooon cos’ I’ve got itchy fingers to do more stuff to the bowls and who knows where they end up, colour wise unless I’m told to Step Away From That Bowl!
