With the idea to make representations of large water droplets and failed so far to find a suitable item for the mould ‘plug’ that is droplet shaped, large enough and has a highly polished surface, I have decided to make it out of clay. Not ideal as the surface of the clay is obviously not ‘glass smooth and polished’, but needs must and have to start somewhere, and have something to work with. By not having the glass polished finish on the plug it means there will be more work involved in cleaning up and polishing the final resin castings.
This is my first ever go on a potter’s wheel … should be interesting!
Well as first attempts go, I’m rather pleased.
I’d created a profile from MDF to get an accurate shaped finish the clay plug.
