The more you guys talk about this, the more excited I get about making a design and going for a mold sooner. My partner is my glaze guy, so he'll probably enjoy mixing up the glaze I mentioned. We have a cupboard full of glaze chemicals left. MadDogMike .. that's a good cheat in a pinch. When I saw you do that .. I thought .. yeahhhh. Maybe I could make a stamp for the bottom. Is the clay moist enough for an impression at the mold removal stage, or is it leather hard and carvable only? BeachBumz ... that is very tempting to try the 3 part on the first go. Do you just bind the two upper halfs together at the pouring and the 3rd half wedges in without extra support - or do you bind that too? -Whystler
