forma fabrica: Innovative reusable fabric molds for slipcasting

Forma Fabrica is a novel technique of slip casting porcelain in custom made reusable fabric molds. The method incorporates computer design and modelling of the ceramicware and the fabric mold while allowing customization and modularity. The fabric molds are reusable and create a unique subtle form of every vessel casted. The technique also allows the implementation of color and texture by using the fabric as a medium. After the vessel is extracted from the mold, the fabric separates from the porcelain and the vessel is fired.
