In the past slipcasting was primarily considered an industrial method. Today however ceramic artists are adapting its techniques to create a wide range of beautiful & highly individualised pieces. Sasha Wardell clearly explains & demonstrates the techniques involved & shows how they can be adapted for the studio workshop. This book gives the reader a thorough grounding in all aspects of mould making & slipcasting. Examples of the work of an international group of artists are used to illustrate the breadth & versatility of the work that can be created. The images in this second edition have been updated to colour along with a newly revised chapter on individual approaches by well-known contemporary artists.
