Making moulds for Resin
To make the Resin heads, I had to create a silicon mould. To do this, I buried each head to the half way point in clay and used wooden boards and clamps to create a wall around them. I then mixed the mould making silicon together and poured a thin layer onto the head. Once this was dry I mixed a thicker layer of silicon and carefully spread this over the area where the head is.
I then expanded the walls and created a plaster cast around this half of the head. After the plaster had set, I flipped over the mould, removed the clay and repeated these steps for the second half.
