This is a one part slip cast mold made from a wooden specimen base. A press molded circuitry specimen would be places in the bottom of the mold and casting slip was then poured over the top. I experimented with different clay bodies to find a clay body that the casting slip would bond to and not crack. This research was a success.
This piece features a large piece of cast iron that is imbedded in the clay sediment. The left photograph shows this piece in the greenware state and the right photograph shows the finished piece.
