stamping in which the design stands
out from the surface, to a greater

addition of water to powdered and partly
dehydrated gypsum, used for holding
broken bones in place and making
sculptures and casts
Mold:

liquid when it cools and hardens
Non-Objective:

2. Create an interesting non-objective
design using marks made by everyday
objects
3. Cover the entire surface area with
texture
4. Make some marks deep and keep others
shallow to create your relief
5. Pour plaster into your mold
6. Let plaster dry & remove. Voila!
