Ball Surface, 17 in (432 mm), Slumping Mould

17 x 3.375 in (432 x 86 mm)

In addition to creating a wide shallow bowl, this mould is Step One of a three-step process that makes it possible to create a deep-slumped vessel. You will need three moulds to do this: Step One is the Ball Surface mould (008738). Deep Form Step Two (008990) takes the bowl created with the Ball Surface mould to a more bell-shaped form. Deep Form Step Three (008991) takes the bell-shaped form to a deep vessel with graceful, sloping proportions and a flat base. For more information on this process, see:

Imported from Creative Ceramics in Europe, these are simply the finest slumping moulds we have ever found on the commercial market. Slipcast from a specially formulated clay body, they have an exceptionally smooth surface, accept kilnwash uniformly, and do not crack under repeated usage if handled properly.

Dimensions shown are the largest measurements of the actual mould, to help you determine the kiln space required. Individual moulds may vary slightly from the dimensions shown. Whether pre-fusing or cutting unfired glass, create your blank to fit the actual mould.
