Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
It's difficult to imagine how a self-published book could contain the hundreds of color photographs potter Martin uses to illustrate the very technical nature of mold making and slip casting. His three decades of studio experience stand behind this revised edition of his ultimate guide to the process of pouring liquid clay into a mold to shape a clay object—and ensure that the items, at least their size and dimensions, are identical. The book follows in logical detail all the need-to-know content, from tolls and materials to the different iterations of mold making as well as a troubleshooting guide. Steps are pictured in color, numbered, and captioned as companions to the narrative; occasional sidebars, lots of finished art ceramics, and five working artist portraits—Anne Kraus, Tom Spleth, Donna Polseno and Richard Hensley, and Richard Notkin—underscore the outcome of mastering these techniques. Plaster-mixing ratios, casting-slip recipes, and a glossary are appended. Jacobs, Barbara

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Book for any Slipcaster & Mold Maker
I’ve been involved in ceramics for 25 years, and this book is packed full of helpful tips, tricks, and gorgeous photos. It’s quickly become one of the prized books in my art book collection, and I will be referencing it again and again. If you’re thinking about getting into this side of pottery, absolutely get this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars good resource for getting started in slip casting
I've been a potter for 50 years, but never tried slip casting and wanted to give it a try. Took a couple of books out of the library and this one was the better of the two. The other book had been recommended by well-known potter/author John Britt, but this one was just a little more clear on the 'getting started' information. If you are just starting out with slip casting, I also recommend watching some of the many online videos available.
4.0 out of 5 stars Making molds this semester.
This book refreshes my memory. There is a lot to remember when casting, and this book is a fabulous guide. I am recommending it to my classmates.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a well written book that is easy to understand and comprehend
Wow... I have read the negative reviews. All I can say is re-read the book the information is there, and if it is not there he tells you where to find it. This is a well written book that is easy to understand and comprehend. The book is more so about a quick way to make prototype molds using Andrew's unique speedy technique, and how to make lid's that will fit well. He covers the basics well, pointing out along the way the most important things you need to do to ovoid common mistakes before they happen. He gives you just about every possible mold making scenario from 1piece molds to 6 piece molds.The two things that would make this a better book. #1 Certain techniques in the book are not regurgitated. "Wash off the mold soap with vinegar." These seven words are just easier to print than; "Refer to page bla bla on how to wash away mold soap." #2 It almost seems like a few pictures are missing, while some of the other pictures that were included are pointless. I would have been a good idea to give this book to the targeted novice mold maker for a prerelease review.Overall I do love the book and I find myself referencing this book again and again.

Product matched description and arrived quickly.
5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Resource
Possessing a modicum of mold making experience ,I have found this book to be extremely helpful as I explore the medium on my own . It is well written and the pictures are great. I consult it all the time and it has indeed been an essential guide for me as I learn through trial and error. No book can offer the same learning experience as an actual lesson but Andrew's latest offering , ceramicsacademy.com which provides video tutorials , may , perhaps, be the next best thing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent solution and price
Thank you
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for first timer to experienced
Loved how everything is explained well and understandable. I've made plaster molds before but this gave me new ideas of casting.
Nice Book
A useful book, lots of photos of Art Pottery, lots of information. I wouldn't rely on it as my only source of information but definitely a good resource. Definitely worth having.
