Making boxes to make plaster moulds

Last week I made some boxes that I will use when I am making plaster moulds for my slip casting. They are movable which means I can make a wide range of different sizes. They are going to be much more easy to use that the old system I was using! I simply used old boards of wood that I cut the same size and some small metal brackets I folded and screwed onto the wooden boards. Easy! This way I can slide them to change the size. #ceramicshowto #ceramics #handmade #mouldmaking

Gorgeous ceramics by Luke Bishop

I am a very huge fan of Luke Bishop’s work. I love the blue and orange colour palette he uses, and the mix of latex and porcelain. Check his website, it is worth having a look. He will be exhibiting from the 22nd of Nov to the 17th of Jan at the New Ashgate Gallery in Farnham. I hope I’ll get a chance to go! #lukebishop #ceramics #crafts #event #exhibition #handmade #unique #vessels
