2nd Week of the Plaster Course

After sculpting my two forms. Gunhild help me to begin making the moulds. As I wanted the organic form to have a very smooth surface I left it for a few days to dry out so that I could sand it properly. The mould for the geometric form has 3 parts and a casting plug so that is a sealed form with no pouring holes. The organic form I mapped out roughly where the diving lines for the mould would be with Gunhild but would make the mould next week.

Friday night there were lots of private views. Two were student exhibition and one was at USF which had a wonderful feel at night across the inlet. There was also a talk by David Shrigley as his exhibition opened. He was a bit disorganised but it was a very funny talk. On Sunday we walked up one of the hills opposite Fantoft we followed a footpath at first but it soon disappeared so we ended up climbing rocks up a waterfall. At the top we were pelted by hail but made it through to the peak which gave spectacular 360 views. We walked back down into town, passed someone running with their dog up! The scenery was completely different on the other side of the hill! It was beautiful!
