Porcelain Casting Explorations

posted by wes at 9:52 pm

When I come across a new process or material, I tend to become curious.  If there is something I don’t fully understand, I like to have the opportunity to dive right in and explore it, learning a lot about it during the process.

Slip casting porcelain was one of those things.  This work was done September – December 2008.

Modular Building Blocks

While sketching two dimensionally, I feel disconnected from the form I am trying to achieve. With these efficiently manufactured building blocks (milled with a CNC router), one can freely sketch in three-dimensional space.  This allows one to get a true sense of form, as opposed to relying on a perceived notion.
