OK. Remember this guy?
The plaster has dried enough to use the mold.
So, the first thing I do is press clay into the mold.
After I'm sure that I have the clay pressed into
all the crevices of the mold, I slice off the excess.
I groove the back of the tile to assist in adhering it to the wall.
And when the clay starts to pull away from the plaster mold,
I flip the mold and let the tile drop into my hand.
Next step, drying and firing.
Stay tuned!

I took a class doing this with my grandmother when I was little. It was amazing. I love the turtles.
Thank you C'est la Vie. It's a great, yet fairly straightforward process.
My granddaughter who is 4 often works with me in the studio. I think, wow, what an advantage she has in many ways from this experience. The lessons learned creating serve us throughout our lives.
Thank you for your comment!
