Also in Week 3 , I made a rough clay sculpture of a devil kind of figure, purely to test making a latex mould. This involved painting layers of latex every 20 mins or so onto the clay model and finally putting pieces of scrim into the latex to strengthen it.By the following week I had a mould from which I then cast a devil in plaster, gaudily painted later at home I am afraid.
Surprsingly a lot of the detail such as the small fingers did actually come out OK. This model was quite brittle though and needed gluing when it broke; probably should gave used better quality plaster.
