Bamboo Tools Drape Moulds |
|
Drape Moulding: Today moulds are generally made of plaster, but the traditional materials were wood and bisque-fired clay. (Plaster has two disadvantages, in that if flakes of it get into clay they can blow up when fired leaving a hole, or worse, a shattered pot, so be careful and clean up well when using plaster mould, and it is more breakable than clay or wood)*. Drape moulding achieved special prominence in the diverting, idiosyncratic Oribe-ware food vessels of the early seventeenth century, and the irregular shapes made possible with drape moulding process continue to be much admired in Japan. |
