Opening A Wax Figure Cast
In this video I demonstrate how to open a wax casted figure from a silicon mold. This is the molds "first cast", which is when a mold has only been casted one time, in which the sculptor learns how this particular shape needs to be opened. At times, depending on the sculpture, I refer to this part of the process as a "test cast", in the case that a second cast might be needed.

Mold Making - 2 Piece Plaster Mold

In this video, I demonstrate how to make a 2 piece waste mold of a sculpted terra-cotta clay form. The 2 piece waste mold is used to make only 1 casting and is discarded after use, which is why the word "waste" is used. Therefore, "undercuts", which are areas where the mold will lock onto the sculpture, are not an issue and with this technique, you can make an mold out of almost most any sculpt...

Thank you for all of your information. It's really interesting. How long could this sculpture last if taken care of and how do we take care of it? AND if you take out the screws, will it be able to stand elsewhere , like on a flat surface? THAN YOU :)

    Is there a video before this one please showing how to construct the fence and what it’s made of? Also, was the clay coated in anything to aid release once the mould is hard? I remember doing this about 50 years ago and I seem to recall using very thin squares of copper to construct the fence. Is this no longer done. I want to start sculpting again and your site has been very helpful in reminding me of most of the various processes. Many thanks.

      @nathanorosco-demonstration5637 Před 2 měsíci

      Hi! I usually use a clay to construct fences. I roll a coil of clay t about 1inch round then compress it to a 2 x 1/2 in shape strip. I will eventually make a video of this step. I do not use metal shims (copper or aluminum as you mentioned) for silicon rubber molds. I do use metal shims to create plaster molds though, which is the more classical mold making process that is still very valuable for specific sculptures. No, for this sculpture I used water based terra cotta clay and kept it leather hard (still wet but stiff like wax), so silicon doesn't stick to anything "wet". Glad my videos are helpful! Many thanks!

  • @moyrahood
    @moyrahood Před 2 měsíci

    Could you tell me please if the clay had been allowed to dry out fully before the plaster cloth was added or had it still been kept under the damp towel and plastic? Many thanks.

    • @nathanorosco-demonstration5637
      @nathanorosco-demonstration5637 Před 2 měsíci

      No, let the clay harden to a "leather hard" state which is stiff like wax but still has a large amount of water content. I kept a plastic bag over water based clay in between working to control the drying. You can keep clay leather hard for months if you control the drying, with the occasion spray of water or leaving damp towel over it while bagged. Good luck!

    • @nathanorosco-demonstration5637
      @nathanorosco-demonstration5637 Před 5 měsíci

      You can usually treat the surface my gently smoothing/petting the clay with a plastic bag (small ziplock) pulled tight around your finger. Its a good idea to attach your forms onto a wire so it can me maneuvered without touching the clay. Temperature is also a factor with plasticine, so try to work the surface in cool environment. Good luck!

      Hi! I made these videos for my sculpture classes during the covid lockdown so the canvas boards are used for students as a "work board" and was given to then in their supply list. Canvas boards are good because clay does not stick to canvas, therefore students can use the canvas board to compress flat the clay slab needed for this assignment. Regular denim canvas works good. best! N.O.

    Strange how some of the most inspiring videos are ones very few people are watching. I found ceramics too hard to be expressive with on one of my courses at my first art school. I was always going to be a 2D specialist, mainly painting and drawing. The only material that fascinated me in ceramics was plaster-forming, though we did no more than fill party balloons to produce interlocking forms. Then recently I set up a corner of my mini studio at home for plaster so that my friend could do some experiments. My own small attempts have been rather banal, but having watched your video the potential of plaster reliefs seems to have opened up for me. I will need to buy some extra bits but it looks like I could enjoy something again that I had left behind. Thank you very much for making this video, which is obviously intended for your students. As I say I am a painter (a rather old one too), but even so a small light bulb has switched on for me. Thank you again.

    • @nathanorosco-demonstration5637
      @nathanorosco-demonstration5637 Před 2 lety

      Hi Bonnie! Well that depends on weather you compressed the clay form to ensure that there are not air pockets on the inside. If there are air pockets then the form would crack during the firing process. You can always cut the forms in half while the clay is "leather hard" and hollow out the inside to create a 1/2 inch thick shell. You would then "score" the 2 shapes back together and poke a little hole, about 1/8 inch thick, so the are inside can escape while the clay shrinks during the firing. Thank you for the good question! Best! N

      Hello! Thanks for you question. In this demonstration, it is only the muscle structure of the full mouth that is applied, not the "lips" (the part that we put lipstick on). It is important to understand that there is a muscle structure to the mouth that must be considered before the lips. If you do not apply the muscle structure first, the sculpture will typically not have the "depth" and complexity that a the face contains. Best!

      No, not if it is kept dry. This process is more so an armature to sculpt a form that would potentially go into the mold making process.
