Plaster mold making…?
Hey everyone, I am currently a freshmen art major @ BSU. I’ve been having some difficulties with trying to make my own plaster molds of these clay tiles for a relief project. I’ve made two molds so far, and they have both turned out very light in comparison to the sample mold I made in my foundations class. One in fact broke while I was trying to press a tile in it. What causes this? I am unable to go on to the next step unless I have successful plaster molds. Also, once I have completed that step I must use terracotta clay to press the tiles in the molds which I have made. Is there any way you can fire these pieces yourself, or must they be put in an actual kiln? Our school’s kiln is broke, and I’m pretty behind on this project due to other projects. So, I may have to try other methods. Thank you, if you want to contact me personally try my school e-mail @ savisnyak@bsu.edu.
please talk to your professor. explain the problems you have had. look in the phone book for a ceramics studio where you can pay to have your tiles fired.
