Mold

I made these bowls using a mold. I created a mold using a plastic ice cream bucket, a plastic yogurt container and some plaster of Paris. I mixed up the plaster in the ice cream bucket, I placed the yogurt into the plaster to create the actual mold. I held the yogurt container in the mold until the plaster started to set up then I removed the yogurt container. After the mold had dried I added slip to the mold. I let the slip dry until it was about of a quarter of inch thick then I poured it out. From that mold I created three different bowls and decorated them. I also made a mold from a soap mold that I had. This was a fun project.
