A3 – Slip Casting Exploration

After my initial exploration of slip casting and gaining a firsthand understanding of the process, I looked to experiment with variables other than dry time. As seen in the slideshow below this included: Creating my own forms that were to be cast, the material of the object to be cast, and altering the slipcast before placing it in the kiln, amongst other things.

I am a Bahraini product designer based in New York City. I am currently pursuing a degree in product design at Parsons the New School of Design. With a focus on furniture and housewares, I am very hands on in my design process; often designing through the manufacturing process. I continue to challenge myself by taking on projects as an opportunity to explore materiality and processes. Rather than hiding imperfections in a piece, I bring them to the forefront of the concept to highlight the manufacturing process.
