Curious about the process of making plaster and silicone molds for ceramics & slip casting? Well, today’s Tiki Technical Tuesday is for you! Gather round and watch as I make a plaster mold of the Dead Bastard Mug, and then nearly go crazy making a silicone master mold of that plaster mold. Silicone can be stressful, and when you don’t have enough of it things get EXTRA PANICKY
