In our second casting workshop we began by de-molding the first half of our mold from the previous session. This involved scraping the clay of to be recycled and sanding down the edges of the plaster. We also repeated this process for the silicon skin mold. Once complete we glazed both molds with soft soap, which makes the final demolding much easier. After at least five coats, I poured the second part of the plaster mold onto the first.
I finished the texture plate by layering the silicon up by painting it on. This method was super simple and really effective. I also experimented with painting a wire armature into another silicon skin to create a skin that would hold a shape.
Today's session was a huge success, I was able to work quickly and learned fast. My texture plate was of good quality and I really enjoyed all the processes.
