Hen I was coldworking my glass pieces in the glass workshop today, the technician asked me if I had seen sandcasting before. Since I have I wasn't that interested in looking untill she told me that Allan (the guy who usually helps me with my glass casting) was casting 2 of his boddies which he was going to attempt and melt togheter. As you might know or not know, sandcasting always leaves one open flat surface. Since you press your mold down into the sand you cannot make a fully 3d statue. Becausse of this allan wanted to try making a front and a back site and flip one over on top of the other after they got a bit solid. After that he even attempted to sculpt it a bit more so the body could sit upright.
It felt quite nice being part of a hotshop project even though I only opend and closed the door of the furnace a couple of times, it felt like I was back in California for a while.
Sorry the images are a bit crappy but I only had my phone on me
and since sancasting requires a lot of speed people didn't
had the time to stop and pose for me
