Making Molds

This video quickly shows a couple things I got started on today so that I could make some rectangular slab dishes.    I'm not sure either one is going to be that successful.  I do have one more idea that I'll get on to tomorrow.  For now though here's the clip...

Just to clarify.  The clay mold is solid right now.  After I refine the shape I'll hollow it out and bisque fire it so that I can drape a slab over it to form the dish.  The wooden mold, once finished, will have a slab draped over it to make the dish.

Great video and ideas for molds; Pioneer Potter sounds like a good book, one I haven't seen I'll have to see if I can find it.

Yep that's the idea Ang, more deco space and a shape that's different.
Linda, Pioneer Pottery was recently reprinted, it's a classic.
