The
Essential Guide to Mold Making & Slip Casting (A Lark Ceramics Book)
by Andrew Martin
For potters, mold making is invaluable because it allows them to slip-cast
identical multiples of their work—and this newly revised, now in color
edition of Andrew Martin’s classic is the definitive guide to the craft.
No other volume has shown the processes in such how-to detail. It’s overflowing
with hundreds of photos, key techniques, projects, master artist profiles,
and troubleshooting tips. A thorough introduction addresses materials and
tools, and presents Martin’s simple, unique template method for making
clay prototypes. Create easy one-piece molds to make tiles, bowls, and
platters, or multi-piece molds for more complex forms. An extensive overview
covers slip formulation, while offering highly desired slip recipes for
low-, mid-, and high-fire clay bodies. This will be the standard reference
in every ceramist’s library.

The
Complete Potter's Companion
by Tony Birks, et al
Revised and updated, this classic potter's volume explains everything
from preparation through firing, with stops along the way for detailed
coverage of working on the wheel; coiled, slab, and pinch pots; mold making;
slip casting; and glazing and decorating. The comprehensive text ranges
from basic (wedging and kneading, beginning wheelwork) to advanced (spray
glazing, raku firing). The no-frills design of the book packs almost too
much information on a page, but the instructions are clear and thorough,
the photos (more than 450, all in color) are straightforward and helpful,
and the stunning examples of work by contemporary potters provide additional
inspiration. Amazon.com
