Stone is unyielding and stable. It represents a quality of steadfastness and unwavering presence, which is central to Zen practice. It is also silent and still. This quality is reflective of the Zen ideal of inner tranquility and silence of the mind. Practitioners seek to attain a state of mental stillness and quiet, free from the constant chatter of thoughts. Zen stone handwarmer series was created to help users achieve intrinsic peace and calm which helps them relax and rest better. It is made by Slip casting which relies on the use of plaster molds, producing complex uniform shapes. Slip casting is often used in the mass production of pottery and involves the pouring of a liquid clay body slip (usually mixed in a blender) into plaster molds. The water in the slip is drawn out of the slip by the plaster, leaving an inside layer of solid clay. When this is thick enough, the excess slip can be poured from the mold and left to dry, when dry the solid clay can then also be de-molded.
