Can u use any type of clay in slipcasting? Like SDB or SAE?
I'm not familiar with those other clays you mention. The principle is the same but you will find other clays have different consistencies when made into a slip and require different amounts of deflocculant to get flowing. Generally i'd stick with a s.g. of around 1.75 for most clay slips.
@@HobbyCeramicraft Thank u very much! Ur vids r helpful!
we say slip strike
instead of 'hot-spot'?
Hello, can you tell me the composition and materials used in the raw material? Thank you
Sorry, we do not make the raw material.
Great tutorial!
How to make a clay mud.
never rely on the doorswitch for safety
How would you do this to make vessels for liquid? As in a specific wall thickness?
Very interesting and useful info! Thanks for sharing 🙏☺️
I love the blue and orange/pink chickens, so cute!
your work is awesome, thank you for sharing it. very inspiring.
What do you mean by foundation?
Mayco Foundation glazes.
Excellent tutorial, very good explanation
Thank you Matt & everyone at HCC for looking into this issue. It’s really reassuring to see a company who care so much about the quality of the products they supply to customers.
Slip must coat your fingers and not be Drippy. Correct Gravity.
Measure 100ml water in plastic tube/Mark it and then take Slip up to the 100ml mark and it will give you the Gravity of the Slip. As per Mr Mikkel
Suspension of Particles. Apple Cider Vinegar, Sodium Sicilate etcetera.
2liters of Water..... +
Thnx, can you see a quanty of used kwH afere firing period on ATR 902?
Your tips and shortcuts are the most useful I’ve seen! Thank you!
What cone are you firing this and does medium firing work? I did 05 cone, medium firing up tp 1800 F two layers of colorobbia glaze and it is melting, dripping. What am I doing wrong?
The terra bella glazes prefer a slightly lower temp, try a cone 06. The speed is less of an issue. Also, they are glazes in their own right, so do not need any glaze on top.
Can you use the slip right away after mixing?😊
Yes you can!
That was very simple to understand. Not yet slip cast, but have just ordered my first mug mould. When do you take off the lines on the clay.
I like to do that when the clay is leather hard. If you leave until dry then you will make a bit of dust, so do when the item is still a bit damp and the clay flecks will drop off in chunks.
Do you know what cause the kiln power fail?
Not really, there could be many reasons.. Check the power from the fuse board is all good, then investigate into the kiln. If no power at the board, it is unlikely a component issue in the chamber.. check fuses in the kiln which are protecting the computer.. or maybe the computer itself..
Your content is always incredible the care you take in showing so many different variations is awesome and your thorough teaching with clear instruction is amazing
Awesome, thank you!
Will this process work with clay that was not originally made for splicasting? I reclaaim all my clay from throwing and what not and I am wondering if I could try out slipcasting by using those leftovers for starters by just buying a 10 euro bottle of sodium silicate...
I also make slip from regular wet clay. Oddly, making slip from blocks of wet clay is not as simple as from dry.. you have to really mix and mix to break down the chunks of clay to get a slurry.
Have you ever used sodium dispex? I was pushed towards it more but seems to be lacking a bit for me
I find sodium silicate works more effectively. The dispex is a blend of sodium silicate and soda ash, which balances the deflocculation preventing a cast being too brittle with sodium silicate alone.
Meanwhile im struggling to get moulds half that size appart when pouring the plaster 😅
The type of mould soap I have chosen over the years makes a big difference. Some that others recommended I can't get the hang of. I use a 'magical' liquid which I have no idea what is in it, but works for me.. so my advice, is.. if you are struggling, try a different separator.
@@HobbyCeramicraft awesome! Thank you for the reply 🙏
Any hints or tips on raw materials like salt glazing or graphitic releases etc most videos are just product range based would be nice to get a more technical video on aspects of bulk production and alternative media's etc
Hi, sorry, that's not something we've got experience on.
Thanks for your lessons. Am looking for a toilet mold. Any recommendations. Thanks
Toilet.. sorry, no.. maybe contract a commercial producer and ask for an old mould. BTW, try painting a new toilet with glazes on top of the already glazed surface for a fun activity. Fire slowly though.. there's a lot of mass in that shape and needs even heating... (We've made a few.. cracked a few in firing them too!)
Thank you, so much for posting
No problem!
0:45 this look like Mayco Jungle Gems CG 780 Mystic Jade am i wrong?
Thank you for this! There was no info on how to connect the remote to the wifi. You saved me a lot of time! cheers
Glad I could help
Enjoy America, and thank you to the team for my prompt delivery and emails for glaze updates. Thank you 😊
Our pleasure!
Thank you - great teaching 🙏
You are very welcome
Thank you very much for your tutorial! I guarantee you the leaflet isn't very useful!
Yes, you are right
Subtitles are recommended, because the information reaches many more people. Thank you for the video! :3
I'm new to the ceramics world, my mom and I got lucky and bought a ton of molds and a kiln as well as paints and I believe pre-mixed slip? It came in jugs, and so I am a bit concerned for creating a proper consistency. I don't have a fancy mixer set up, is there a way to mix slip by hand and then determine if it's appropriate consistency for use within the molds? I don't imagine the jugs of clay and water will have gone bad, it's just clay and water after all, but I do imagine we will have to spend some time on properly mixing it and playing around with pouring it into the molds by hand as well as experimenting with how long each mold takes to set. I believe all our molds are plaster, and I anticipated that they'd take days to set so learning it could be on a timeline more so of hours was quite the shock. I have no idea how low to let the slip go for most of them, and the fellow who sold it to us never quite hammered out the specifics himself. We also have no idea what the type of clay in mixture was used, but I hate to let so many jugs go to waste so we'll use them to practice before making better pieces. Thank you for your video! It has been very helpful.
Best tutorial I’ve seen. Thank you
@HobbyCeramicraft How hard would it be to create a glazed white ceramic rectangular vessel sink for a bathroom vanity? The only people on youtube creating such sinks use concrete, so I'm guessing it's a challenging process without factory equipment..?
Well.. i think durability too perhaps. Making a rectangular vessel in ceramics is not going to be particularly easy anyway.. the clay needs to dry at an even rate and fire at an even rate, which on a square or rectangular piece can be more challenging. This will also require a decent sized kiln to fire it in, which limits who could make it.. so, yes I guess.. makes concrete perhaps look easier...
I use the same pellets from Colorobbia! But i struggle with airbubbles :((
Are your moulds dry? A wet mould can cause air bubbles in cast items. Check your s.g. is low enough and don't be afraid to use deflocculant to dcrease the viscosity.
@@HobbyCeramicraftit’s in the slip unfortunately… i get the sg right but i can’t get rid of them. Even bought a few different attachments for my drill and tried mixed on the lowest..
I always get air bubbles inside!! 😢
What kind of glaze do you use
Generally for dipping we use colorobbia clear glaze, 004. The mayco stroke and coat colours, when used all over an item, do not require clear glaze on top.
Excellent video for a novice to watch.
Glad you think so!
Hello! Thank you very much for the so helpful video. Could I please kindly ask if it is possible to set up time exposure for the cycle steps? Not only for the last one. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi, sorry, we no longer sell or use this particular kiln.
What’s the recipe please? I can’t find this slip anywhere in the US
The slip we use in the UK is made from Italian white earthenware clay. The principles of casting will be very similar with USA made casting slips.
Thank you so much, love your videos and knowledge it’s fun learning and doing projects with my kids.
Do you sell the slip by chance or have a link to where I can purchase?
Wow!!!!
Nice demonstration and very well explained! I have one question about the mold: it has to be made of plaster? Or it can be made with ceramic? I'm thinking of making a mug and i was wondering if i could use a ceramic pot i have for the mold with no glazing. Thank you!
To make a casting mould you really need to use plaster in order to absorb the water from the clay which creates a clay lining. Ceramic would not work in the same way.
Are these the same as ceramic slip cast molds?
Also is there a need of a kiln?
Great video explaining how to change the element , brilliant thanks
Very welcome
Did you add oil? Wich?
No Oil. Just deflocculant, sodium silicate, which increases fluidity.
what oil you used?
Sodium silicate was used as a deflocculant.
