After the design of the ceramic piece is finished, the second phase begins – creating the moulds.
The process of modelling allows for the mass production of a ceramic piece, whether it is artisanal or industrially produced. In order to enable the mass production of a certain item, it is necessary to make a prototype – a model – that, in our case is made out of plaster, from which is made, subsequently, the first mould, also in plaster. With this mould it’s possible to create a limited number of samples, and, subsequently, create a “madre” – made out of silicone, – from which it´s possible to create an unlimited number of moulds and ceramic pieces.
