Wendy (and Dan), congrats on another Mold-Making Victory!
Two moldy questions:

  • would it be a terrible idea to start with making the first piece (of a three piece mold) as the bottom of the mug- then easier to assemble later? Does it matter?
  • When drying out the finished mold, is it better to let it dry slower (like clay), rather than putting it out in the sun to dry? (I assume I may have just answered that question, since plaster IS pretty close to clay?)

Bonus question:

  • Was that original piece bisqued or is it another kind of clay? I think you wrote this earlier but I clearly don't remember... ack!

Thanks for posting!
