Topic Subject : Re: Re: casting clay |
|
I really must apologise for my punctuation its just awfull especally when I get carried away .
You see I am dyslexic my partner proof reads for me most of the time, and I have just understood that the dear lady who I was resonding to actualy finishes her work in clay and very nice work it is .
Well I hope it was interesting to some body .
There are many finishes in our line of work and I have seen many fine examples here .
If you wanted to finish up with a clay finish you could still cast in plasteline which I believe that on your side of the pond you call wax and then make a plaster mould and then press in your clay you would only need to seal the plaster ,there are many products vaseline and white spirit asa mix is good and cheap you could also experiment with piece moulds ,TUASAUDS make there famous heads out of about 26 pieces they are then held in a plaster case or mothermould of at least 4 pieces it is all great fun .
And to answer some ones question yes I do teach and enjoy it very much its mentioned on my website the last one was in Denmark .
kind regards to all .
