Plaster everywhere by Samantha Welch
Well I tried to set a neat example this week but didn’t make it. In the process of plastering my mould I got plaster everywhere:
I got more plaster on me
Sam plastering her mould ... and herself
Meanwhile at our Wednesday class Cath was making a very neat job of it. Cath moved to the northern rivers a few years ago.
Cath also worked under Tom Bass and teachers sculpture and will be starting to teach at “Myocum School of Sculpture” next term and next year.

Samantha who has completed her clay work and started putting shim lines into the sculpture with a first coat of pink plaster mould. The first layer of plaster is pink which will indicate the edge of the mould.

The process continues – by Samantha Welch
The first few photos are of Rhian making her plaster casting of her clay sculpture. These shots are taken of Rhian mixing the correct thickness of plaster to apply over her sculpture which continues until a certain thickness before drying.
