We enjoy ceramics so much that we wanted to share it by making a how to video. Hope you enjoyed it. We are going to make some more at some point.

  • we puchased the pump for approx. 300 dollars. the table was a plastic economy sink which cost about 10 dollars. i put a plug in the bottom. the rack on top is just some 1x2's cut to size and some 3/4" dowel rods screwed into the sides.

  • do you have an actual recipe of the slip that you can share. I am trying to make my own casting slip here in my hometown.

  • @caieros sorry im slow getting back....i buy my slip already prepackaged from my local duncan distributor.

  • Yes, the slip can be reused. Any slip that is emptied from a mold can be mixed back in with any that you have remaining. Pour the slip from the mold back into the container and make sure that it is well mixed before you use it again. If it seems a little thick you can add a very small amount of water. If that doesnt work use silica because too much water will make your greenware brittle.

  • @DalamarDrk I see, thanks for replying.

  • Hey i was wondering if you could write me how you made your pump... and your whole set up. it would be really helpful if you could. Thanks so much!

  • Hi, thanks for the video, its very helpful. How long does it generally take from the time when you fill the mold until you empty it? I´ve heard that you need to let the mold rest and dry after about 7 or 8 refills, is this correct? Many thanks again!

  • I am JUST starting to learn about ceramics, I have a lot of molds and am looking to learn as much as possible. thank you for this informative video. can the slip you are pouring out of the mold be reused? If so do you need to do anything to get it "reprepared'?

  • Thanks for the nice video. Very informative. I'm a novice, just discovering bisque and am interested in moulding my own stuff now. Thumbs up!
