While waiting for our clay sculptures to dry and be fired we worked for a day on designing and carving sand blocks for use in metal casting.
For my design I decided to go with a grouping of two bottles with corks. As part of the assignment there needed to be at least three levels within the piece, which I hoped to achieve with the different textures needed to render a bottle like object in this manner.
The following Tuesday we poured molten aluminum into the molds to create our objects.
At first glance it already seems that I didn't get my areas as evenly carved out as I first thought. Once it has cooled and I've had time to examine it more perhaps there will be a solution for making it look more tidy.
