A huge thank you to @ammejia99 for discovering and transporting the new to the space slip casting table.

I would be remiss if I didn’t include @Christian in this post he helped me keep my head on while we disassembled the pump from the motor and plumbing, cleaned it to look new, and reassembled it then promptly poured liquid clay into it.

@skebe and Christian also were the first two to be authorized to use it and even filled some molds and released some cast items from said molds.

All of this wouldn’t be possible without our incredible ceramics co-leads @pwhutchi and @Scott who took very little convincing on my end to make this a reality.

Does this slip casting table belong to ceramics because it was donated or is this a slip casting table on loan? Either way it will make casting easier
