[Workshop] Casting Molds

This post is to compile information related to casting molds. I am using the casting molds made from Hirst Arts (Castlemolds) and from Happy Seppuku (Your Board System). Like the texture stamps post, this is currently just a list of the casting molds I have. I will in the future update this post as I gain more experience with using these molds.

Hirst Arts - molds for buildings, accessories, and tiles using plaster or dental stone type of products. Currently the focus is to use the molds for walls and accessories. In the future, I want to explore the use of these molds to make building structures. The thickness of these molds range from 1/2 inch to 7/8 inch. The items range from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch in thickness with majority of the casting pieces being 1/4 inch (floor tiles) to 1/2 inch (building blocks).

Happy Seppuku - modular floor tiles ranging from 0.5" to 6" in length and width. Thickness is .25", Recommended for use with polymer clay. Air dry clay suffers from shrinkage. I plan to use plaster-based material and while it is drying use Happy Seppuku stamps to apply texture. In their kickstarter, they mention how it should be similar to stamping concrete.
