Spoon is an ice cream scoop designed for a junior ‘Ceramics For Design’ course at The Cleveland Institute of Art. The class focused on the technique of slip mold casting- an excellent introduction to materials, process and production. We were asked to design a small item (of our choice) to be manufactured in small editions. 

The class follows more or less a traditional industrial design process, from gathering inspiration, sketching, developing the concept in CAD, generating a 3D print for a plaster mold to be created from, slip casting the porcealin, and finally firing and glazing.
