Ceramic Fire Hyrdrant Dog Urn
This design was created for ceramic slip casting, a process that uses a plaster mold with clay slip that is poured into the mold, then poured out leaving behind a hollow “Shell” of ceramic in the form of the mold. Then the mold is opened and you have a ceramic part that can be repeatedly cast. 3d printing was used to test the form and ultimately used for plaster casting for the mold as well.
