to further explore the theme of play, i wanted to make a silicone mould of a Venetian masquerade mask to explore the idea of playing a role or obscuring one’s true feelings or personality. I plan on making casts using resin, wax, and maybe paper to explore the effects of different materials.

Did the casting and mould making workshop today. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be making use of what I learned in my project.

Guerrila Mould Making

So the other day I was able to get my hands on some silicone so I decided to try out the Guerrila Moulds from Sarah O’Flahertys workshop a few weeks ago. When I making this I found it a bit hard to control the silicone, I think I may have been doing it wrong. None the less I was able to make two moulds. One mould was of a pine cone thing and the other of a zinc ore.

Bump casting (38 weeks)

It feels like forever ago that I made this casting of my bump. Even though my baby has been born and I’m loving it very second of it, I still miss my bump🤰🏼 I’m so glad I have these castings of my baby bump to keep forever.

Concrete Mould Making With The Fabulous Rowan Smith

-          Similar to the process of the wax mould except you make no walls and no multiple jackets. It’s all one thing.

-          You get once chance.

-          And one mould.

-          Backward a few stapes.

-          Once you have made your clay mould, you then need to coat the entire mould with a layer of plaster (made the same as the plaster in the previous exercise).

-          You make quite a thick layer because the concrete reacts differently to wax.

-          Once the plaster mould has cooled down and set, remove the clay from the inside.

-          Dig it out.

-          All of it.

-          Gently with water and a soft paintbrush.

-          Coat the inside of your mould with a thin layer of sunlight liquid. Helps the concrete not stick to the plaster as much once set.

-          Now you make the concrete.

-          2 parts sand.

-          1 part concrete powder.

-          Add water slowly while mixing.

-          Mix until the consistence of thick yogurt.

-          Make sure to get all the lumps out.

-          Poor the concrete mix into the mould.

-          Push it in gently and shake, vibrate and wiggle the mould to release any air bubbles that may have been trapped under the concrete mix.

-          Make sure that your mould is lying flat while it sets.

-          Wrap your mould with the concrete mix in it, into air tight black bag.

-          Careful not to let the bag touch the surface of the mix.

-          Now wait 2 days before removing the plaster jacket.

-          You only get one copy.

-          So careful when removing the plaster, especially if you have any fine points.

-          Thank you.
