I think they are lovely… I showed them to friends. They said they needed saucers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saucers…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To start with I was going to make slip-cast molds, but these would need to be 2 part, and quite delicate… So I had a think and decided on press molds former. A 3d printed version of the inside of the saucer that wet clat in presses into\/down with – back to Blender. Initially, I thought I wanted hexagonal saucers until I saw them! Round it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The clay is dusted with cornflour to stop it from sticking, then the former is pressed down into it on top of some foam. Then I defined the foot a little better with my fingers and popped it off to dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m not going to all this effort for saucers without spoons. So, Blender again. This time, a cutter, and a former for them to dry on, 4 at a time. I’m in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n So far I have gifted some of these, but not got around to adding them to Etsy. I need to get on top of this…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s a link to all the 3D-printed parts I made..<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Feels like ages since I should have posted this. The paper cups were intended as espresso\/shot cups, but after shrinkage, they were too small (my white clay shrinks more than my terracotta), so back to the drawing board. Something new. 3D printed originals, scaled 10% bigger than needed, made into a mold for casting.
