We have so many tableware all around us . But the good designed tableware are not very much . So for this we had been given an assignment to design jugs in such a way that they are fully functional and designed in such a way that they occupy less space and easy to use .
1. First we had been given to measuring the jugs and in ml . It is different that we were Not supposed to design in lengths we were given the task in ml . It is a brainstorming part . Brainstorming in design is our basic practice in order to make good designed objects . 3 categories we have to measure 250ml. 350ml. 500ml. These spouts jugs used for different liquids containers .
2. Next step is model making . As we are doing mold and casting so we have to make mother mold in plaster . Mold and casting is an industrial technique for rapid production . First we set plaster block then carved the model into our desire objects. As plaster is a water absorbing material so we apply the mixture of LAKH DANA and SPRIT to make it water resistant .
3. Then it’s time to set the mold of the mother mold . Base , sides and top if required . After making it let it to dry for casting .
4. Slip casting is a very interesting part . In which a proper balance of clay and water mixture which we called SLIP . Set the mold with rubber bands to tighten it , then adding slip to the mold , wait for sometime so that the walls of the plaster absorb the excess water from the slip to attain the shape of our design . Then we take the excess slip out of the mold . And let it to dry . Now carefully open the mold and take the cast out or set aside . Leaves it to dry .
