Hungarian term or phrase: Folyatott (csorgatott) porcelánforma
Itt egy kerámia medálról van szó, ami úgy készül, hogy vékonyan rácsorgatják egy gipszlapra, és így alakul ki a formája.

English translation:poured porcelain
Explanation:
First step is to pour a block of plaster, and carve it to the shape I want. I use stainless steel sheeting due to its bend-ability. It works well to create round shapes.

After the original is carved, I make a set of casting molds, or negatives of the original shape. Before I can start pouring in the porcelain, the molds have to dry, which takes a few weeks.

When the porcelain is poured, the sides are always a mess and need cleaning. I don’t mind this step as it gives me the opportunity to create a variety of edges, making each plate unique.
