Nude Study #2: casting resin, copper powder, slate black patina, 5.5" x 12.5"

Our resident sculptor at Townsend Atelier sculpted these small figurative reliefs in clay from a live model. After the sculpting was completed, a simple mold was made out of Townsend Atelier’s Pourable Silicone.  Once the mold was fully cured, metal powders were dusted into the surface of the mold (either bronze , copper,  or brass powders) and then Townsend Casting Resin was poured into the metal coated mold.  In just a few minutes, the casting was ready to be de-molded and finished with a Sculpt Nouveau Slate Black Patina.   Below are a few more examples in this series of beautiful cold cast metal reliefs.

Making a two-part mold with Brush-a-Mold.

This past February, students from around the country attended our mold-making and casting workshop.  Students learned how to make one part, two-part, and  mother-molds with our silicone mold-making materials.  In addition, students learned how to cast with our urethane resins and create variety of simple finishes with dyes, metal coatings, and  powders.

What an awesome group of students! They learned a lot in two days.
