Mould Making Casting



The plaster moulds dried out enough to be slip cast. After securing the pieces together with elastic bands ash white slip is poured into the moulds. The moulds are filled up to the top of the ‘spare’; the slip is left for a few minutes to reach the required thickness. The excess slip is then poured back into the slip blender. The mould is then left upside down on the bench to dry out for at least an hour.
