Great ideas for slump/hump molds. But then what do you suggest for =
preventing warping and cracking during drying and warping during firing? =
I've tried most of the suggestions mentioned in the Archives but still =
have trouble more than half the time. What kind of clay is best for these =
sorts of pieces? Many thanks, P

Linda Blossom's method of sandwiching the lips. I borrowed it for
bird baths. She uses it for sinks.
i have photos of it in PMI article on birdbaths.

Hi Marcia-
I'd like to find that article- which issue can we find that in?
"Sandwiching lips" is an unfamiliar techinique to me- I'm intrigued.
Thanks!

Sorry, I don't remember how this thread started out but I did have a good
idea (a borrowed one) for slump molds. At a Don Reitz workshop I saw 'The
Don' making some very large slab wall pieces and to get a curved disc shape
he just used an old car tire on it's side with a piece of canvas over it.
The tread edge of the tire provides plenty of support while the side walls
give evenly under the weight of the clay. Since there is an infinite size
range of tires I'm sure that one would meet your needs and you could
probably get them for free at any tire store. I would think radials would
work the best.

Sorry, meant Patrick Cross. John Cross is a local person here in
Charlevoix. I must be fatigued after caring for my six year old great
grandson all day yesterday and today. Today was no school because of
the excess snow that had fallen overnight. Whew. I need a good night's
sleep. Even forgot the subject.
Warm regards,
Bonnie Staffel
