I saw some people building the box around with LEGO. I may try that and mush the clay in it since LEGO can be reused. Only thing is people use it on small pieces and plasticina rather than clay. May just get a big bulk tub of LEGO. But maybe for bigger things foam board is better? I like the idea of reducing garbage. I like that clay is organic.
Hi, I've gone back and forth on a few of your videos to try to figure out exactly what kind of clay you built the sculpture with. Can you help me know what that was?
You did a great job demonstrating a 2 part mold. Do you ever use thin aluminum shims instead of stuffing wet clay against the model for your dividing lines?
Yes, the aluminum shims work well, especially for standing models that are not easily placed level on a table. They are most effective in use on larger pieces, monuments etc.
@@BeginnersSchool Thanks.. Funny you mention tall, I've got a 15inch tall skinny table lamp right now and was considering using shims. I was going to take the lazy route and glove mold, then slice it up the back. I think you might be right. I'm running rebound25.
Thanks for your prompt response. I have another question, I saw that you are using a clay to made de mold and you can remove with water. What kind of clay is that? I went to hobby lobby but I can't find anything similar of that. Any branch of clay? If hobby lobby don't have it maybe I can buy on Amazon
Ceramic clay is not the same as air dry clay. Ceramic clay must be fired in a kiln in order to become vitreous, or completely hardened. Air dry clay simply dries by leaving it uncovered for a designated period of time (check the label). We recommend using plastilina clay because it doesn't dry--ever. It stays pliable and usable throughout its life. Here's a link to the clay that Kent is using in the video: www.dickblick.com/products/sculpture-house-roma-plastilina-modeling-clay/
Super Sculpey does not contain sulfur, but it is not the same as non-sulfur plastilina clay. I know it sounds confusing! Sculpey can be baked in a home oven to harden and plastilina would simply melt if you tried that. Sculpey does stay soft until you bake it, so it is a good alternative to the plastilina if you're working on a small scale, otherwise it can be expensive to buy in large quantities.
Great instructor. Information flows well, is clear, with all necessary details, no annoying music to compete with his voice. Thank you!
Excellent video, very clear.Thanks.

Can we use metal sclepture as mother mold for pasting silicon in it
thank you very much !

What's a shim.? I'd like to use this method as I have easy access to the material :)

That is just regular, water-based ceramic clay. You can use something like this: a.co/bouL8WG
Beginner's School thanks again
Good luck! Send us photos of your work! www.beginnersschool.com/submission-form/
Beginner's School I will, thanks
If the ceramic clay are the same like an air dry clay? because I saw in the store that said air dry clay

Is Super Sculpey clay a non sulfur clay?

Abysmal!
Anybody else cringing as he slices that board the way he does....waiting for blood to start spurting everywhere !!
