Since I slipcast for some of my functional wares as well as for my sculptures I often get asked about how to best make casting slip. Since I am no expert and in fact over the years have become sadly very lazy with my mixing process (or maybe it’s just that i’ve made so much i can do it all by sight and estimation skills? Yup that must be it….) I thought that having a good link to some real research and information would be of benefit. So enjoy How to… Make and adjust casting slip via Laguna Clay.

Winston Churchill spoke of architecture – ‘We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us’. The sophisticated interdependence of design elements required to create an aesthetically pleasing set of functional pieces are often completely ignored by the user because of the commonplace nature of the object. This exhibition looks at how function and aesthetics drive some of the most everyday objects that surround us. Works included in this exhibition are by Harlan House, Shane Norrie, Judi, Dyelle, Goyer-Bonneau, Peter Jensen and others.
