From there I will CNC mill a one part mold then cast, glaze and fire a 12 piece series for you of your design. The 3D model, mold and finished product will all be yours. The model may be up to 10"x10"x3", great for a tray, plaque, artwork, bowl or ??? with unique digital detail possibilities! We can talk about production details before you commit to the pledge.
