Moulding and Casting workshop ... making replicas of three dimensional objects ...


High in the mountains above the lush green of the mid north coast
we learnt about moulding and casting. The technique of making replicas
of three dimensional objects is used in museums, films, special effects,
by sculptors, restorers, artists and crafters ... and now Moi ...
first task was make mould of your finger ...
then create moulds of found objects ...
wait for them to set ...
