Then after that we 3D printed a small egg vase. They pulled them closed and open, made the bottom wider, changed the height. They drew these designs, we scanned them into the computer, then played with them. These were the original conceptions of the vases. Nick Moen: Well, John and Cade brought over these drawings. It’s a big, exciting project, and witnessing it all was a real treat (I think I geeked out a little too hard over the 3D printer).Įast Fork: What’s was the very beginning of the process? Anyway, touring the studio and seeing things up-close was super educational for me, and hopefully gives you all valuable insight into our process! Maybe you’ll look at your vase with new loving eyes. Aside from that, at one point he literally told me that building a 3D printer literally from scratch is actually really easy, which goes to show how much of a mold-making genius this guy is. He’s been working in close quarters with Alex and John these past few months to really nail the process of perfecting our slipcast vases. I scooted over to their studio, located in Asheville’s South Slope neighborhood, to talk with Nick Moen about it. It’s what we’ve been working on with The Bright Angle for some time now.
Slip-casting is a tried and true ceramics technique in which you pour a liquid clay body into a plaster mold in layers to eventually create a hollow form.
#Slip casting ceramic molds free
Ways to make sure your plates stack up nice in the cabinet and your vases looks smooth and blemish free (except for the beautiful iron flecks, of course). The ceramic world is rich with tools of the trade to get things looking uniform and beautiful. Jiggers, wheels, ram presses, slip-casting, etc.
