Ceramic Silpcasting and Mold Making - An Endangered Art in America?

One day a mysterious object landed on the table, wrapped in rubber bands.

I occasionally get inquiries from other ceramic designers looking for slip casters to produce their work. When the network that I envision manifests we can pass the request along to production studios in the network.

There once was a slip-casting studio in Maine, which, I had been recommending, but I looked for the website yesterday to find that it is no longer active. leading to the conclusion that the production studio is no longer in business.
