	Slipcasting \| Wardell, Sasha
		The excess slip is removed from the mold and the cast is stiffened, removed, dried, and fired in a kiln.
		Since the molds can be based on anything from delicate sculpture to found objects, slipcasting frees artists from the constraints of other ceramic techniques while allowing them to create multiples of their works.
		Sasha Wardell's Slipcasting is a straightforward, practical guide for those interested in the boundless possibilities of the technique.

		And the debate about slipcasting vs. press molding, it would require speaking to someone who has done both, and is familiar with the end product of each.
		There may be practical limitations to slipcasting that are overcome by press molding, but the difference between using a mold as a tool, and using an electric wheel, a slab roller, an extruder, or any other tool, is rather blurry.

	Slipcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slipcasting is an easy technique for the mass-production of pottery, especially for shapes not easily made on a wheel.
		A liquid clay slip (technically a slip) is poured into plaster moulds and allowed to form a layer, the cast, on the inside cavity of the mould.
		In recent years, slipcasting has become a process used by artists and independent designers to produce editions of objects, play with the aesthetics of mass production in ceramics, or manufacture ceramic ware on a small scale.

	Ferrin Gallery The Arts of Slipcasting and Jitterbugging:
		Swanson's slipcast, limited-edition teapots, now twelve in number-the first created in 1991, the latest from 2001-are graceful, but also irrepressibly playful.
		While these works proved successful, even powerful, Swanson still wasn't satisfied; he wanted to achieve what he was coming to admire in Yixing ware: a purity of material, where no decoration beyond the sculptor's modeling is necessary.
		Swanson first encountered the notion of sculptural pots as limited editions in his study of Picasso's ceramics, and for his teapots, he found slipcasting to work beautifully, allowing him to create editions of up to twenty-two (the more complex pieces, like Fish Rider, have as few as twelve in an edition).
