The Largest Egg!
The egg shape is so primitive and reserved. I feel the origin of creation when I look at the egg. I wanted to share with everyone the beauty of the biggest eggshell!
Create the Original Egg Shape With Clay.
Prepare 1kg of clay and mix with water to make the original shape.
Throw the clay on the wheel to create a smooth surface.
Create a Two Parts Mold
You will need plaster, water, and a large bucket to create a mother mold.
The first step: Pour 1kg of plaster into a bucket and add a cold water 1: 1.5 ratio.
The second step: Let them sit in the bucket for 2 minutes and mix them well.
The third step: Pour the plaster into the clay egg shape that you made it on the first step.
The fourth step: After 1 hour later, take out the clay from the plaster mold. Let them sit for a week until getting hard and dry.
Mix a Slip Porcelain
Pure a porcelain powder and water into the porcelain mixer and mix them about 3 hours. After that pure the porcelain into the plaster mold which you created on step two.
Fire the Egg in a Kiln
Prepare the kiln setting and load the egg base into a 6 feet hight kiln. This process will take a 2days to heat and cool down the egg. It is very important to set it slow mode in cone 05 or 06.
Cut and Shave
If you need to cut or shave some extra parts, use the table saw or sander to make the perfect egg shape.
