Susan Beiner slip casts thousands of interesting little shapes
and combines them on a piece to create magnificent
"more is more" baroque looking ceramic objects.
Many have been purchased by museums.
I'd be happy to have her next to my booth.
Maybe generalizations don't always work.

I think it's all in how you do it.
I'm not a highly skilled potter. My pots are clearly handmade. That doesn't
make them great art.
I have seen people who use molds and slipcasting to do devastatingly
beautiful work. I just don't think it makes a bit of sense to say "Us over here, we're
the REAL artists." Hand builders run into that to some extent -- many
wheel-throwers (not the highly accomplished ones, I think) think that handbuilding is
"easier."

Kurt Weiser makes his lovely forms, cast them, pours a very limit number =
with his own porcelin slip and glazes them. He finishes them with wonderf=
ul surrealistic paintings using china paints. Incredible detail.
You don't have to worry about him being next to your both.
Diana is right, generalizations don't always work.

This is getting tiresome. A number of times in this discussion it has been
acknowledged that artists limke Susan Beiner and Richard Notkin who slipcast
components and then assemble finshed pieces are producing original handmade
works of fine art/craft.
