Ceramics modelling






This is a couple of images from my modelling process I documented during the ceramics induction. We began this whole process by making our models from :

1. Get block of wood to create stand and drill two holes half way through wood to add screws for models to stand on.

2. create wired skeleton

3. When skeleton add milliput to non functional areas e.g. shins of character

4. then overlay parts with tape so plaster does not stick to model and use paper and tape for the head

5. add plaster scene and cover all areas

6. Now bore dints for eye sockets and create eyes from miliput

I created my model but things went wrong along the way especially moulding my figure and mixing the foam to created the cast. The body stuck to the cast mainly because of the frame sleeping between the moulder causing it to glue the block together. Moulding was a problem because mixtures were not not firm enough and I had not greased the template with wax before putting the mixture.
