Plaster Casting

This is a commission I had of a front torso; please get in touch if you would like a life cast made of yourself. They can be finished in either Herculite plaster with a bronze finish (making it look like a bronze sculpture), or in ceramic with a finish of your own choice. To get some inspiration, please look at my torsos http://annakeiller.com/portfolio/torsos/bloglukesculpt02

Wet strips of plaster bandages are placed on the skin. It is really important to smooth them down well so no air gets trapped.

As the plaster cures it heats up and goes hard. You can now remove it – carefully!
