I was asked by the sculptor Andrew Logan to make mould and casts from a life-size head sculpture in clay. Andrew models his subjects fairly realistically but then paints and embellishes them. He also likes to produce two copies; one for the sitter and one to keep himself. The form was relatively simple, offering a clear choice of dividing line up the sides of the neck-piece and head. A common option for mouldmaking from a simple bust, i.e. head and shoulders, is to completely cover with a thick skin of silicone which, when cured, can be slit along one side (usually up the back to the top of the head) when it’s time to remove the prototype.
