Clay & Slip Reclaim
Reclaiming clay and slip is critical for increasing the sustainability of our industry and craft. It makes our studios more efficient and profitable. But, there are a lot of competing priorities and reclaim often falls further and further down the list until you find yourself throwing out tons of perfectly good clay that is going to end up in a landfill instead of in your customer’s loving hands. Meanwhile, your order of fresh clay or slip is being dug out of the ground just to visit your studio and then the dumpster.
Armature Ceramics reclaims clay and slip for you. We pick up your trimmings, scraps, slop, etc. and return it to you ready to throw, handbuild, slip cast, or however you like to build your ceramics. Make your studio, school, or business more sustainable and profitable. Review our pricing sheet and schedule your first pick up today.
Mold Making
Whether you’re producing thousands of products each month or building a one of a kind art installation you need to be able to replicate a shape over and over again. Some forms demand thin walls and great heights. Some details are too delicate and intricate to replicate satisfactorily by hand. Plaster molds and silicone molds meet those needs perfectly.
Armature Ceramics makes molds of any size and number. Small things like cups, mugs, and bowls. Medium sized things like vases, pitchers, jugs, and pots. And, even larger items like statuary and large garden decor. Whether you’re planning your next production run or working on a special commission for a client or anything in between review our pricing sheet and schedule a conversation today.
Supplementary Ceramic Production
Receiving a large order or winning a competitive bid is thrilling, but it can be overwhelming for your production team and infrastructure. These opportunities may also come with requests for unique products that neither you nor your competitors make… yet. But, if you deliver on your commitment to quality and timeliness to your customer despite those challenges it could mean years of repeat orders and larger projects.
With Armature Ceramics you can say yes to those large orders and confidently submit your bid for that big stretch RFP. Armature Ceramics designs and manufactures beautiful ceramic products and we can provide supplementary design, throwing, assembly, casting, glazing, firing, and touch up. And, we will take on the bizarre or “outside the box” portion of your customer’s order that would normally disrupt your production process. Review our pricing sheet and schedule a conversation today.
