How to make a plaster slab for clay body testing | Ceramic Materials Workshop

Описание: Watch this great resource video on how we make plaster slabs for our clay body testing in the CMW Workshop!

A Plaster slab is valuable for testing clay bodies. This is our method for making testing slabs. What we like about this method is that it's really easy all you need is a plastic tub, a bag of plaster, and things you probably already have lying around your studio.

This lesson is part of our Introduction to Clay Bodies course in which students learn about clay! Our clay course aims to develop a basic understanding of the following: origins, chemical composition, properties, and function of clay types, including earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain, the processing and usage of clay formulas, clay formulas: analysis and performance, applications of clay formulas: throwing, construction and casting and the tenants of heat and temperature and clay flaws: identification and correction. More info on this course is available on our website here: https://ceramicmaterialsworkshop.com/...

Ceramic Materials ​Workshop is a place online to understand and explore how and why our Clay and Glazes work (and don’t work). Our materials speak for us in the home and gallery. It benefits us to learn about how to speak through our materials. Mastering the skills of clay and glaze performance helps every ceramicist, become their best self in the studio.
