After my lockdown experiments I was a bit worried about having to make another mould, luckily this time it went a lot better. I threw a small (solid) vase shape in clay, and used small pieces of aluminium can to make a clean edge to halve the mould
After leaving the mould to completely dry for a week, we mixed some casting slip and did our first pour.
Left it to set over night, a little tidying and trimming – voila! First little cast vase. Now that I know the mould works I can make lots of these and really play around with decoration.
