That is awesome!

And thanks for the list, gives me a few things to pick up. For now ill be brining my own personal stuff for the class, but its good to know what we need going forward.

I noticed no one used a plastic putty knife. it make cleaning the mold up easier and faster.

I know this is the cart before the horse, so to speak, but I am also interested in the mold making part of this. I have a specific part I need to make, but there might be a more appropriate method than slip casting.

I am really interested in mold making as well. I am currently hoarding hundreds of resin molds to eventually make resin masters that I hope to use to make slip casting molds for “add ons”.

Im working on a 3d printed sushi plate mold for glass slumping , sanding the print lines and such now. Then I hope to make a plaster form for a replaceable source of glass molds since they are slip cast pieces. fingers crossed!

A thicker shell (number of “loops” when slicing) is helpful.

A fine metal file works well.
