Casting

I made my first attempt at casting.

Firstly, the plaster mould was cleaned and tied down with string.

Get some mud.

Pour the thicker slurry I just received back into the blender.

Pour the mud into the mould and fill it once in about 10 minutes, after 20 minutes pour off the undried mud (hollow container)

Invert the mould in the waiting area。

Generally it is more appropriate to demould after 3 to 4 hours, I demoulded after 4 hours this time and the neck of the bottle ended up breaking, which means that the waiting time is too long, it is more appropriate to demould my moulds after waiting for about 3 hours.

I repaired the breaks with mud and trimmed the shape of the model.

I used the clay to make some more small patterns on the surface of the bottle.
