Body Cast Mold

Body Cast Mold

Name: Body Cast Molding
Material: Stoneware with Grog

laster was used to make the mold of this fist. Once the plaster mold was dry, clay was put inside of the mold with a layer of plastic in between to get the texture. I chose to do a fist to show strength and stability, the cracks and texture show the wear and tear some encounter with everyday life. Once the clay was taken out of the mold and fired, a series of wash glazes went onto the piece in order to get the color of flesh. One color would be added and wiped away, leaving a light color behind.
