Today Richard Arm came in to talk to us about different methods and materials which are available for moulding around objects and even people to make props or masks.
There are many different types of mask making and object moulding, lots of different materials can be used to create shapes with. Richard Arm taught us about the materials that you can us for a particular type of casting and how the process of making the object works. There were a lot of things that I never knew about or had seen before and I felt that the lecture was really useful to have and I am looking forward to the skills week were we can put this into practise.
Here are a few ways of making moulds:
- Skin mould
- Multi-piece
- Open mould
- Split mould
- Clay and pressure
- Vacuum form
- Plug mould
Types for casting:
- General
- Clear
- Gel
