Plate in a Plate: Dinnerware as Slump Molds

ESSENTIAL: Selecting Slump Molds
You can use real plates, small trays and shallow bowls as a slump mold to form a plate. The sides of the dinnerware must rise gently from the interior base without sharp corners or steep angles. 

TIP: Making the Slab
Make the slab 4 to 6 mm (1/8 to 1/4 inch) thick. It should be at least 5 cm (2 inches) larger than your plate slump mold on all sides.

Make a plate using a real plate as a slump mold. Once made, decorate with coloured slip using  stencils or transfers. 

After decorating the plate with stencils or transfers, remove it from the paper plate slump mold.
