I wanted to be able to give a nice and personal present to people I like. A mug for me is a very special object because of its use is so close to our body. Only the making of a mould for the production of just one mug takes time and is limited when you want to work fast. Therefore I want to be able to make this process more flexible and playful. To be able to make a mould in a short time, without spending loads of money and without the problem of a mould that doesn’t release the object.
In this Project I try to express some of the possibilities of my flexible moulds by making a system you cast nine mugs simultaneously. These mugs influence and infect each others shape while being cast. Which provides a collection of mugs that have a strong relation to each other being unique.
Execution
Cellulose sponge cloth sewn together to use as mould for slip casting of porcelain ceramics.
