This is a plaster cast of a face, built up with klean klay, which we will make a negative off, and pour latex into the negative.

This is the negative & postivie moulds (or male and female). I now have to clean out the negative of all the residual klay and pour the latex! The klean klay on the positive is now useless, so i'll peel all that off back to the original plaster that is underneath. It's a pretty cool camera trick that they both look like positive (or male) moulds!
