March 27, 2009, Newsletter Issue #337: Bisque Molds/slump and hump

Tip of the Week

Bisque also makes great slump and hump molds. These can be thrown, or handbuilt, or molded from a found object. You can use found objects (mixing bowls, platters) directly by coating with vegetable oil, PAM, WD-40, etc. or by covering with plastic wrap or newspaper. Usually you will use these as slump molds, as the insides of your bowls and platters have the nice curvature you are looking for.
