This is an example of the process that I followed in order to create the further seven (black) casts.
Step One: Apply clay to plaster cast and remove once clay is firm enough.
Step Two: Burnish then add a layer of slip before burnishing once more.
Step Three: Leave to dry (although i did not fully dry out most of my casts before firing because they had differing thicknesses, as you can see in the image above).
Step Four: Cover in tinfoil with dried avocado and banana skin plus orange and lemon peel, bit of garlic and pistachio shells. Place in dustbin and fire for up to 48 hours, or until cold.
Step Five: Retrieve from fire, remove from tin foil and lightly clean off with water before rubbing in bees wax polish.
