What type of clay do I use to create a master? hey monkeyman, this is purely guessing but couldn't you create a prototype out of plasticine and then make a vinyl mold over it with plaster back up, kind of like to create resin cold casts? then you ought to be able to make a cast with clay within it. but please verify this with folks who have actually made mugs with molds ~ my experience is with resin casting and lost-wax process metal casting.
