***MOLDING OVERVIEW 6 ** 7 ** 8 ** 9 ** 10 ** ** |
Again, I have not fully explained all details
or shown photos of other steps involved with this particular moldmaking method
using Gypsum Cements; this is just a general introduction. Personally, I mostly
learn through books, research, looking at photographs and have visited a few
molding departments on some of projects that I worked on. With careful
observation, I was able to eventually piece together and figure-out the
moldmaking process. Remember this, most importantly, you Have To, Just DO
IT and you will most likely make mistakes but this is the best "teacher",
and you can always practice moldmaking on test sculptures. Gypsum
plasters are only one type of molding material.....there are also polyurethane
rubbers, silicones, epoxies, and fiberglass.....each has their specific use,
purposes, advantages & disadvantages. If you go to my Links page
and click on How-To Library, you will find books & video resources
about general moldmaking. |
