Porcelain Medallions

These small pieces I have sculpted are cast in porcelain here in my studio.  See my step by step post about working with oil clay before I went onto molding and casting these pieces.  The largest is a small relief sculpture measuring about 5 inches tall before firing.  I sculpted it for a show award and it would look nice mounted on a wooden plaque.  The other smaller pieces are intended to be used for jewelry.  Lapel pins with magnetic clasps or as pendants for necklaces, according to size or shape which is most feasible.  These can be left as unglazed bisques or they can be tinted with stains, or custom glazed using under glazes or china paints.  As I also made silicone master molds from which more plaster slip casting molds may be poured, I can produce as many of these as I like in various tinted porcelain slips.  Or I can clean up and detail masters to send off to be remolded for casting in metals.  My aim however is to sculpt much LARGER relief pieces to sell through my galleries or to give as show awards at events I am flown out as a guest judge.  Using platinum silicone as my master molds, which are food safe, I can also cast these in chocolate or other edible materials to give away as gifts or to sell.   Molds can also be cast and fired in ceramic to be used for cookie press molds!
