Below I'm telling the story in an easy manner. You may notice that there are two white tikis in some photos. This is because they made a master of my sculpt. It is saved to make new molds from in the future.

Thank you to Dennis Glascock owner of Frankoma Pottery Company for the photos. Those that are small came from his phone.

=============================

Frankoma received the sculpt and made the mug. Clay is used to block the plaster. This way you make one piece, move the clay and do the next.

6 pieces were made for this mold.

A master cast for future mold making.

The sculpt was removed and after the mold was 100% dry the first cast was done. Now you can see where the opening is at the top which makes it a mug.

My sculpt will be returned so I can use the clay in the future for another Frankoma project!!!
