What`s new?
Skrat is working on a new project- new mould for ceramics hopefully ;)
Of course faze no. 1 is some daydreaming, doodling and sketching on a paper... I would like to make a jar for storing coffee, sugar or something like that. My plan is simple form with a nice curve and interesting lid (or maybe few different lids).
When the image in your head is done, I pourred plaster cylinder (appropriate size for my form). I pourred it onto some kind of adapter for my lathe (so that the cylinder could be clamped into my lathe. After a few days (cca 2) I clamped the cylinder and started turning. Plaster is wonderful material for turning. Anybody who tried wheel turning should try lathe - it is even better because you can see the form the whole time (no bird`s eye view). There are some problems with mould making but more about that next time.
Few pictures of how it all started...
Škrat dela nov projekt- nov kalup za vlivanje keramike, upajmo ;)
Seveda je prva faza malo sanjarjenja, čečkanja in skiciranja na papir. Jaz bi za začetek rada naredila posodo za kavo, sladkor ali kaj podobnega. Tako čimbolj preprosto obliko, z lepo krivuljo in zanimivim pokrovom (hmm morda tudi z več različnimi pokrovi).
Ko je slika v glavi vsaj približno gotova, vliješ valj iz mavca primerne velikosti (vliješ ga na držalo, ki ga lahko vpneš na stružnico). Čez nekaj dni (cca 2) ga vpneš na stružnico in centriraš, nato pa sledi čarovnija. Mavec se namreč čudovito struži in je res super. Kdor je kdaj poskusil lončariti mu priporočam tudi struženje- je v bistvu še boljše, saj je izdelek cel čas viden (ne gledaš iz ptičje perspektive...) in struži se zares čudovito. Seveda je nekaj težav pri kalupih ampak o tem kdaj drugič.
Sledi nekaj slikic kako se je tole začelo...
