Making Moulds

I used to make a lot of work from press-moulds that I had created, but these moulds disappeared years ago in one of many house moves, so I’m gradually replacing them. This is how I do it:

Part One / Day One:

1. Make a simplified cat

2. Cut the cat in half

3. Put the two halves into a container

4. Fill a bowl with water

5. Sprinkle plaster on to the water

6. When the plaster sits on the top it’s ready

7. Stir the plaster slowly with a metal spoon

8. Spoon the plaster over the cat models

9. Leave the plaster to set overnight

Part Two / Day Two:

1. Turn the mould out when dry

2. Use clay to pull the cat out

3. Finished!!!
