Making a negative mold out of #1 Pottery Plaster for casting a neoprene mask.

Sculpture made from WED clay over a 1/2 face hydro-cal lifecast.

You can also use this kind of mold for paper mache casting or latex casting.

This photo is for entertainment. It is not intended as a tutorial. There are far too many steps left out for this to be a useful tutorial.

Oooooo i should try pottery plaster. How do you remove the excess from the cast? Also, how do you remove any excess from the inside to make it fit?

Thank you very much! Have you used oil-based, non-drying clay for this process? What's your opinion of this material? Hope you don't mind if I pick your brain a bit.

Yes, I have. I prefer to use water based clay.

This is a technique I use as well, though not as well-- still learning! A question: in step #2, is that a mold release agent you're applying? Or a thin layer of plaster? Thank you in advance.

Hi, no mold release is needed. That is an impression coating of plaster brushed on with a chip brush. Follow each section IMMEDIATELY with a thicker layer of plaster before the impression coat has a chance to dry.
