Molds & Mishima: Handbuilding & Decorating with Julie Wiggins

Presenter: Julie Wiggins

Making your own slump and hump molds is such a great way to be creative in the studio, and it is easier than you might think if you make them out of clay! Julie Wiggins shares two creative mold making techniques, as well as her Mishima surface techniques and glazing process in her video Molds & MIshima: Handbuilding and Decorating Techniques. This video is loaded with practical tips and techniques from making the mold all the way through glazing the piece.
