Just wish UPS had not tried to fold it in half. Hard back book with lots of pictures and instructions on how to make molds and then slip casting. Lots of info. This book will be a great reference in my library for my further education working with my kiln and my ceramics. I am looking forward to making my own designs with what I learn from this book. Lots of photos and lots of info. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Book for any Slipcaster & Mold Maker *by on Reviewed in the United States September 9, 2024* I’ve been involved in ceramics for 25 years, and this book is packed full of helpful tips, tricks, and gorgeous photos. It’s quickly become one of the prized books in my art book collection, and I will be referencing it again and again. If you’re thinking about getting into this side of pottery, absolutely get this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Book.... *by on Reviewed in the United States May 19, 2009* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Essential Guide to Mold Making & Slip Casting (A Lark Ceramics Book) - Amazing Glaze: Techniques, Recipes, Finishing, and Firing (Mastering Ceramics) - Mastering Hand Building: Techniques, Tips, and Tricks for Slabs, Coils, and More (Mastering Ceramics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1908166-the-essential-guide-to-mold-making-and-slip-casting](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1908166-the-essential-guide-to-mold-making-and-slip-casting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
