need help making a mold


Recommended Posts

Hello Forum,

 

I have trying to get more involved with my mothers hobby of ceramics. I have been painting and firing, and now I would like for us to be able to make our own mold. We have several factory made molds, but would like to be able to make a mold of things around the house. Is there a book on the market or can anyone give me the steps for making a mold.

 

Thank you so much

You can use some rubber to create the original or "master" of the mold and then use plaster to create the outer areas of the mold. There is a technique to all of this and I am sure you can probably see it in the book that is stated above. I also saw an episode of "How It's Made" that really lays it all out so maybe you could Google that!
