Ceramic Hides?

[Boston]

Holy hell, I had never actually thought of selling any, lol, I just wanted something better for my boy. Because I am still hooked in with my university I have access to all the kilns 24/7. I am generally a metal casting sculptor but am extremely good with ceramics (wet clay & wax work in about the same ways, I just like bronze/aluminum/iron/steel better, lol)

Let me get a couple of things worked up & then I can get some input from you guys: like what size would be good for hatchling size?

Thanks DellaF

I don't know enough about ceramics but maybe you can answer my question. Is there a type of clay that can be poured that will give you the same strength as stoneware. The ideal solution would be to create a mold that way you could provide a consistent product. I think there is a real market for high end hides. Many of us are struggling to find the perfect hides and I think ceramics offers the perfect solution.

Id be interested. I almost bought a ceramic round birdhouse for one of my turds, but the colors were soo blan. There are endless possibilities for some sick looking ceramic hides

Definitely adding this to the "watched threads" list. This would be an awesome idea. I've done a lot of ceramic work, but just painting. That was years ago. It would be amazing to order some hides that I could decorate myself.

Can't wait to see some prototypes.
