The historical use of wood for molds
Let's step back in time and discover the fascinating history of the use of wooden molds in pottery.
For centuries, craftspeople have exploited this technique to shape pieces with perfect forms and warm textures. The use of wood to create pottery molds goes back to ancient times, when potters used hollowed-out sections of tree trunks to bring their creations to life. This tradition has continued through the ages, with variations and improvements made to the techniques used to make wooden molds.
The benefits of using wood for your molds
Sustainability of your wooden molds
One of the main advantages of wooden molds is their longevity. Wood is a strong, resilient material, which can withstand prolonged use. Unlike plastic or plaster molds, wooden molds keep their shape and functionality for many years, offering excellent long-term value.
To conclude, choosing to use wooden molds in pottery goes beyond a simple shaping technique. It's a conscious choice that combines the beauty of natural materials, durability and a commitment to eco-friendly practices. By using wooden molds, potters can express their creativity while respecting nature and contributing to a more sustainable way of life.
