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 an egg.

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 2minutes and mix them well.

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.

Shape the Egg

Once you have the egg shape out of the kiln and need to be shaped or sanded.

You can use a table saw or sand blaster to get a right shape.
