More Mould Making

 

A few stages further on and each silicone rubber half mould is encased within plaster.

There are keys within it to hold the mould in place.

The silicone took overnight to set but the plaster is much quicker so before long I had 3 mould waiting for wax.

 This is the plaster sculpture for the 2nd semester brief, waiting for assessment.
I received so much help from the technician (artist/sculptor in his own right).
It was started from a rectangular block of plaster. I would really like to have completed this in stone but there was a time limit, as it is, I'm pleased with the result.

 

 

My tutor commented on the fact that seen from this angle it looks like a fist. I do agree but this was a happy accident.

This took approximately 30kg of plaster, and I had to leave it drying for a couple of weeks. ( wouldn't go in the drying space because it was too heavy for the shelves)
