Desapinde: The Physics of Slip Casting

Field notes

Desapinde organizes slip casting as a continuous workshop process rather than a collection of isolated recipes. Its visible material gets specific about variables that often disappear from beginner guides: electrolyte dosage, a 60–80 mesh sieve, magnetically removing iron particles, resting time, and the relationship between plaster saturation and drying shrinkage. The homepage also traces later-stage problems through mold wear, seams, firing, glazing, and common casting defects.
