In today's session we continued to make the mold for our 3D models. It was pretty much the same as last weeks session, as the process was the exact same as last week. However, this week didn't go as well for me as I had a small issue with the plaster leaking out of the clay. It wasn't a big disaster, but it is still something that I'd have liked to avoid, as it made separating the two slabs of plaster a little more difficult than it should have been.
Despite running into that minor issue, I did manage the second part of the task quite easy. In order to split the plaster, we had to soak the molds in luke-warm water to activate the soapy substance we had painted onto the mold before pouring in the second layer of plaster. This made the seperation process a lot easier, as it meant that the two sheets of plaster didn't glue together.
Overall, I am really pleased with today's progress and I feel that I did well for my first attempt. I feel confident that I'd be able to do this process again with little support and fix the issues that I had this time round.
Can't wait for next week!
