A process that requires me to take the original fruit, make a plaster mold with it by a pouring technique, pour slip into the finished mold, and pouring it right back out. This allows the slip (super wet, smoothie-like clay) to make a layer on the interior of the two part mold. Setting a timer, it allows for the slip to get to a "leather- hard" stage, where it can then be removed from the mold and fixed up for the final drying stage. After, I fire it once at a very high tempurature in a kiln. The last step is just sanding, perfecting, and delicatly hand painting them.
