Someone sent a message to clayart detalailing their fascination with
surfaces and mentioned "pouring plaster clay" on their pots.
What is this?
What does it do?
How do you use it?
How to you make it?
Why do you like it?
Just curious. I was always told to keep the plaster out of the clay in
my mold making class, I'm sure what you are talking about is entirely
different, eh?
Thanks,
Myrrhia

I'll be happy to send you the recipes for plaster clay, if I ever get to my
studio, I'm procrastinating on the big eviction from my studio, and hope to
God my huge recipe book and my braun mixer is still in the glaze lab.
Plaster Clay is primarily a castable material that I've been experimenting
with, I usually put more water in so I can use it more as a glaze than as a
castable. Some of the other techno winnies on the list will probably be able
to give a better effervecent coefficient of the process, what I was told is
that it is the ratio of plaster to clay...however many of the pieces I did for
my thesis had hellatious chunks of plaster in them from the mamooth molds I
was working with, and not a MOE FO thang happen (kids dont try this at
home)...If you are interested for reals, I'll send you the recipe after I send
some one a Majolica recipe, so if your into CP time (cuban peoples)...better
late than never....
