A whole 5 days of learning mould making!
First of all, it was to make sure a silicone release agent was applied liberally to the sculptures - I really wanted the sculptures to come out from the silcone after it had set.
Next, lay on top of cling film to protect the plaster from the clay, and build up around the piece about halfway, following any lines (so that the mould lines when cast show as little as possible)
a clay wall is added and then the silicone poured in.
I'm glad I had 3 pieces as I could practice and repeat the process 3 times to learn it more thoroughly.
