I did not post a follow-up to the square press mold post. What I found is that it's impossible to put a single slab of clay into the molds. There is just too much clay for the corners. Instead, I did some bowls with cut slabs, and others with torn slabs. Still haven't fired those pieces, but will do soon. I will post my results on the blog. I'll be around a lot more in the new year. Take care, Dina Hi Kim,

I recently tried to do something like this with slab but had trouble trying to figure out how to fit the clay slab in the mold without tearing or folding. Did you post a followup for this? Are you using slabs in sections or do you have a technique that you can share? I am interested in how to use a mold this deep to form a bowl.

Are you doing slab and if so, how to fit them into something this deep. Are you using sections and joining? I recently thought about using something very similar in shape and depth to your mold. Did you ever post a followup after the molds were dry? I am interested in how you shape the square bowls using these molds. Are you doing slab and if so, how to fit them into something this deep.

I love the photos right along in the step by step text. I'll probably never do this myself, but I enjoyed reading the whole thing. Can't wait to see your end product.
