Hi Debbie! Thanks for asking. Because the wheel is in the round, I think this technique works best for round forms. However, slabs of clay can be draped onto the square forms. You can see the variety of slab molds we offer here: www.baileypottery.com/store-dept-pottery-ceramic-tools/store-handbuilding-sculpture-tools/store-handbuilding-sculpture-tools-slab-and-tools.html
I believe it was just over 24 hours. You will want to monitor it because drying times will vary based on the humidity and dryness of the studio climate. Let us know if you try this technique, and how it goes for you! Happy making!
neat!
Would this work to make a square plate? It’s just difficult to tell from the video. Thanks!

How long did you leave the clay in the mold before you remove from it? Thx
