Slump Mould - kidney dishes.

 For this slump mould I drew a shape on a piece of A4 mountboard and cut it out with a sharp craft knife.

Then I rolled out my clay to 0.6mm and laid it over the top.

Very carefully, with a slightly damp sponge, I eased the clay down through the hole, until it was the depth I wanted it to be.

Once I was happy with the depth, it was time to trim off the excess.

Then for some reason, I decided to make a second one.  I copied the shape and did the whole process again.

 

I then left them resting in a couple of buckets to dry a little.  The next lesson was going to be on slip decorating and sgraffito, so we needed to have something ready for then.
