We had a 3 hour lesson on problem solving / creative thinking with Jeff Bruce-Hay (the co-owner of the Prop company 'Prop-star') he gave us the challenge of making wood look like brick, it was really interesting to see how people did this so differently, some used Artex, sand and PVA. I choose to do the quick and simple approach of using sand/grit and PVA. I still need to pant it

2 Part Plaster
Two part plaster casting on our armature head, we then mixed the plaster we had to work really fasted to the plaster goes of equal on the mould. When doing the paster you have to place it on the mould with a sort of vertical motion. After the 1st side is dried you repeat the process. Once it has all set you need to crack open the cast.
Clay puppet head
Armature heads ready for a two part casting, started off with a metal frame stapled to a board then built up the head in clay from there making sure we kept turning it.
