Printmaking and Sculpture



Here the Gelflex is being poured into the second half. I made a mistake on the second plaster jacket (it was too small and didn't meet the edge of the first plaster jacket) and time was running out so Rob helped me to tape the two plaster jackets together securely before pouring. It's lucky my chosen item is relatively small! At least I've learnt a lot from making mistakes.. I just found the process hard to get my head around at first!




Trying a hand at making a Gelflex mold. This is the first part to the two-part mold. I built the bed of clay around the item and here it is propped up and ready to have Gelflex poured into it to form the front half of the mold.
