Making a Plaster Mold of a Medusa Relief

Be it that you are making a decoration for your home or a relief, this technique may be applied.

There are quite a few ways of making those walls;
with plastic, tin... but I wanted to find the easiest, most
efficient, most recyclable, easy-to-clean way. However, tin most usually gets damaged and it's hard to use it again and not cut yourself or have an ugly cast. It also needs to be sealed with clay on the sides. As soon as you (inevitably) stain the clay walls with plaster in the process, it can no longer be fired, as trapped plaster may cause trouble in the kiln.

You may use this kind mold for at least ten times; as long as you isolate the cardboard walls with tape well. I'm using only supplies which you may find in any garage and tool box.

It's easy to recycle after it can no longer be used!

You may see more photos of the relief on my instagram.

I'm working on more videos on this topic and going through possible problems and tricks that can improve casting skills of absolute amateurs, too!
