A method of making a porous mold used in pressure casting for forming ceramic articles, which includes the steps of: removably attaching a plurality of apertured holding members in an array at a desired interval to the inner face of an upper case made of a rigid material; threading a flexible line into the apertures of the holding members in each row to hold it at a predetermined spacing from the inner face of the upper case, at least one of the two ends of the flexible line being extended to the outside of the upper case; casting slurry into a mold cavity which is defined between the upper case and a lower basic case joined to the former case to form a porous mold; removing the upper case from the porous mold after the slurry has cured, while leaving the holding members together with the flexible lines in the porous mold; and extracting the flexible lines from the porous mold to form channels in the porous mold. |
