Todays started as a disaster. I got to ceramics straight after the briefing to start on making my mould. Got there and no one was in there to show me how to make the sillicone mould. Apart from Andy who is teaching all day. I spoke to Andy and he said that I can't do it on my own as would need his supervision as theres chemicals involved and that I don't know the process and because my cat is a funny shape its going to be difficult. I'm definitely stressing now as I haven't really got the time to lose. Andy said he's free all day tomorrow so booked in to be there for half 9 tomorrow to make the mould. He said that it should be done for Thursday and could probably pour in my first resin either end of Thursday if were lucky or Friday.
In theory if I manage to make one character by Friday, I will know the process and will be able to make the rest that first week back in Jan. Though I will have to make myself a very strict schedule.
I looked into buying the kit to make things out of resin from home and they're really quite expensive. Plus, Andy was saying it would be quite dangerous if I did it from home as theres a lot a chemicals involved, and I would need to be very careful, wear goggles and be in a very well ventilated room. So, I defiantly think I would rather wait to do it in uni.
