The Essential Guide to Mold Making & Slip Casting (A Lark Ceramics Book)
I did not expect such a hard book to follow. This book is not for green beginners. Terminology not explained and I found the photos unreconizable.

Rating: 5 / 5
This is an essential for anyone interested in mold making & producing molds from pieces you have made & would like to duplicate in uniformity.
It also has good examples & photos to explain the process. I would have liked more on the area of the clay bodies used in casting and the unique properties and problems you may encounter vs. the properties of the plaster to make the molds. As references go, this is a probably the best I’ve read & would highly recommend it for anyone interested in casting.
