Abstract:
1. An adjustable slump mold for molding a clay slab into a ceramic object, the mold comprising: a plurality of elongate members each having a longitudinal axis and a bottom surface; a plurality of L-shaped brackets connecting to and extending outwards from respective ones of the ends of the elongate members along the longitudinal axes of the elongate members, each said bracket having a base portion extending horizontally from the bottom surface of a first end of its elongate member in parallel with the longitudinal axis of its elongate member and each said bracket having an upright portion extending perpendicular from its base portion, the upright portions being spaced-apart from the first ends of the elongate members, each said bracket thus forming a passageway between its upright portion and the first end of its elongate member, each said bracket being thus shaped to slidably receive an adjacent one of the elongate members through its passageway with its base portion abutting the bottom surface of said adjacent one of the elongate members, wherein each said elongate member has a second end spaced-apart from its first end, the longitudinal axis of each said elongate member extending from its first end to its second end, and wherein each said bracket is shaped to slidably receive said adjacent one of the elongate members at a location between the first end and the second end of said adjacent one of the elongate members, the elongate members so connected together forming an adjustable mold shape.
