Sculpting

You need:

• clay
• a non porous plastic tray/base
• tools
• hair dryer if needed
• sandwich box
• glue gun
• something to make the barrier for instance clay or depending on your wound size you could also cut up a plastic cup

Steps:

• make sure your workplace is all set up and you have done enough research
• bring in images so you know how it should look like( no matter if you are doing a wound or anything else)
• make sure your plastic base is clean before you start
• get a piece of clay and start sculpting, you can use a hair dryer to make it more soft and easier to work with 
• keep sculpting until you are happy with your design
• make sure your edges are well blended-> otherwise they will be visible when doing the negative
• try to be realistic when it comes to the size->people tend to make them too big and then the mould will look unrealistic; also consider where it will be on the body->if it is on the face and near the eye make sure you will have enough space later to blend it in 
• make sure the surface is smooth unless you want texture->for example if you sculpting for something on the face->the face has a lot of pores so you will need to have texture in it-> can create texture with the tools you have or use one of your wooden brushes
• as said before details are important so do really good research
• when you are done spray it first with fixier/fixing spray(can get it from Kryolan), wait until dry->spray on open window and wear a mask
• then spray with petrolease, also wear mask and in front of open window, spray from a 20 cm distance, don't spray too much, wait until dry
• then get something to make a barrier-> for small wounds you can cut a plastic cup apart and the glue the open half onto your plastic tray with a glue gun->make sure it's glued on properly so no silicone will later leak
• let the glue dry
