1. Try ceramic paper clay. 2. Try using a bulbous makeup sponge to gently encourage the clay to drop. 3. If your clay is supple enough you can place your neg mould over a basin and pick both up at the same time and “drop” onto the table. Hope that makes for even more fun with your clay. Enjoying your videos.
So you are giving me lots of ideas for “molds”. I have used this method before using a heavy cardboard box but foam core seams a lot more stable since it would be less absorbent. I have used gorilla board as portable drawing lap desks for a drawing class I used to teach so I am going to play with those to see how well they work. You can get them in various thicknesses … I think they might even go up to 1/2 inch. This could make them still easy enough to carve and sturdy enough for multiple uses.
I love that idea! It is such a delicate balance between how easily the material is to carve and the sturdiness of the mold. I'm not too familiar with gorilla board but it sounds like a reasonable way to experiment with this method. Hope you get positive results!
Hi I just found your channel. I have a question. You put paper towl inside to hold the shapes. I understand why. Are you concerned with the ash that will be left behind after firing? Will it effect the glaze you use? Great idea though
I tried this menthol too and my clay kept ripping at the edge of the cardboard. And then it also collapsed even after leaving my clay to dry for 6 hours on a hot day.
So sorry to hear that! I've found that results vary depending on the type of clay you are using. I've had better results with fairly moist clay; but it can still be pretty tricky. Currently I'm finding that terra cotta works well!

Very cool technique. I can see this coming in useful. I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for a great video 😊
