Plaster casting

today we did plaster casts of people.  To do this you must firstly wrap your subject (or victim) in clingfilm. this prevents any of the plaster getting stuck to their skin, this should be avoided as it is painfull.

After the first step the next thing to do is to mix your plaster, making sure it is the correct type for what you are doing.
To mix plaster you must find a bucket put enoougth water in the bucket accourding to how much plaster you want. Then add the plaster until there forms a small island on the top of the water. The next stage is to mix the plaster until it thickens slightly.

Stage 3 is to get scrib a type of bandage like material nd but it in the plaster submerging it to ensure all of the scrib is coverd and then it can be applied to the victim... I mean subject.

Cover the subject until coverd from shest to toe. making sure that they are not incased in the scrib and plaster as they will be unable to get out.

the next step is to wait for the scrib and plaster to dry.

Make sure the models are in a comfortable position before hand, they may want to lean against a wall.

then when th eplaster has set, gently remove it from the model.
