Process
One part mold are made to slip cast multiples of bowls in sets. The process took three full days. Making the molds and shaping them to form fit but also for easy relief points. A commercial slip mixture was used in production additional recipes were not necessary for the process. Learnings from the mold making was to leave at least 2 inches of wall thickness and shaping the outer curve of the mold in parallel to the form - for even and continuous liquid capture.
