Out the bisc. oven.
Here are some pieces that came out of the bisc. oven. Still working mainly with the slab roller. Shoulder still out of it, so centering on the kick wheel a problem.
Using a slab roller to make a box form.
Here i used a slab roller and rolled out a slab that i then wrapped this around a plastic box that itself was wrapped in newspaper so that the shape would come loose after it had dried a bit. When it had dried over night i first worked the top in being able to work from the inside and then left it upside down for a about four hours to harden up then i placed it on a flat slab and folded the edges around to form the base. I later added the stamps and lid. Check out the menu bar and you will find the page for , How to make a ceramic box, this will show how i make these boxes.
A homemade slab roller
I made myself a small ( but quite heavy ) slab roller, as i need to make some lamp shades in porcelain and i want the slabs to be as thin and as uniform as possible. Tried it out and it works well. Total cost ,about 55 euro.
