Thanks so much! I appreciate that!

These are for my students who have no experience with epoxy. If the tutorial is too long for you, fast-forward, skip it, or make your own tutorial.

You explained that better than your demonstration. The⏩️ button activated. ​@@BrianHarperstudio

I'm not sure what the shrinkage rate on this casting slip, but most casting slips will shrink more than a normal clay body. I would expect casting slip to shrink at 15% or more.

@@BrianHarperstudio Thank you! That's a very helpful info

Thanks for checking out the video. I appreciate your kind words!

Hahaha, that's great! Thanks for watching!

Hmm, I've never heard of that. I would be concerned about the moisture turning to steam and either cracking or exploding the mold. Putting in the sun, or a dry box will certainly speed up the process of drying, though. Thanks for watching the video!

Thank you for watching it! So glad you liked it.

Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful

You're welcome!

I'm not sure exactly. It requires the use of equipment (like kilns) that are expensive and vary significantly across brands, size, and age. Most of the supplies are able to be purchased pre-mixed, so for example, you could buy pre-mixed slip, pre-mixed glazes, etc. I work within a university setting, so those costs are absorbed among the thousands of pounds of the materials and supplies we buy each year. Sorry I don't have a better answer!

Hi Katie! Yes, slip/engobes can be used on both high fire and low fire clay. We use the same slip on both high fire and low fire clay and have never had a problem. I could imagine a scenario where a high fire slip over a low fire clay could be problematic .. since you are putting a thin layer of more porous clay over the surface of a tighter body, but I've never heard of it causing a problem. I would think that for something that needs to be restaurant grade food-safe, you would want to match a slip's firing temp with the body, but that isn't really done in the ceramics world .. at least not that I've heard of. An engobe is just a slip with a flux in it, so an engobe is already fluxing more than a slip anyway. So, with that in mind, it doesn't seem like it would be an issue. For example, commercial engobes like Amaco Velvet Underglaze are used on lowfire, midrange, and highfire clays all simultaneously. Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching Aziz. I make these videos for my students (I'm a teacher) and for them, I need to explain things in a way that is clear .. even if it takes a while. It's just how I've been doing it for nearly 20 years :) I appreciate you watching, and your feedback though!

Ummm, ok! I'm sure all your videos are perfect. Can't wait to watch them!

Thanks for your comment. The recipe I used in this video can be found at claybucket.com/recipes/casting-slips/. Hope that helps!

Thanks Michael, so glad you liked the video! I've never tried any other accelerator other than heat, although I'd be really curious if you find anything out. I built a large box with a small space heater in there. I use that to set the PC-7 on the object (not all the way hard, just set it so that it's much stiffer). Then I can take the object out of the box and keep working. Usually I leave it in the heat for a 2-3 hours. Sorry I don't have a better trick, but please let me know if you find out anything!

Thanks for the feedback rand95060b8797823f9832h4f7h329f8! Your videos must be perfect. I'll have to check them out someday. I'm "sort of" sending big hugs you have an amazing day!

Thanks for watching my video!

Dear can you tell me what are the component of the clay i am new in this

​@@BrianHarperstudio Dear brian I was wandering if you can tell me the components of the clay you are using I should be thankful if you tell me Kind regards Salem almaari

@@salemalmaari7103 Hello, thanks for watching my video. You can find the recipe here: claybucket.com/recipes/casting-slips/. The one I'm using in the video is the first one at the top of that page. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much John! So glad you liked my video!

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Hello! I know you can import SVG files and work with them in Tinkercad. I've done that a little but with image of text and that kind of thing. One of my students did that with some medical images, but it has to be graphic image - essentially an image that can be extruded into a shape. There's an "import" button in Tinkercad. Hope that helps!

@@BrianHarperstudio I researched it Brian thank you....and youre right, they have to be specific pics or Tindercad shreds them. But I have started with basic shapes and just tweaking them to what Tcam can tolerate. Cheers Brian...it was a great Tutorial. I learned a lot !🥸👍

@@Noble-yc8wz That's great! So glad to hear it!

So glad you liked the video!

Right?! It's a great way to be able to visualize the form before going through the whole process. Thanks for checking out the video!

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!

Thanks so much for the feedback @gregeoryl. I do that sometimes with clear epoxy and the like, but with PC7 I like the worn feel of an old stir stick. I sand the edges down and after awhile, they're much more comfortable to use than a new stick. I usually use the same stir sticks for years. Anyway, thanks for checking out my video!
