2.00 Ann’s Demo – Making moulds and texture sheets

Demos:
Carol will demonstrate the Sutton Slice, a technique “invented” by Pete Sutton who came about it by accident, which is so often the way.
You will need:-
Deep cut rubber stamp that has no wood or plastic support
Very sharp tissue blade
Pasta machine
Water spritzer
Acrylic rolling rod
Two contrasting colours polymer (any brand – Carol uses Fimo)
Ann will be sharing how to use moulding materials, using a range of materials, including silicone (Amazing Mold Putty and bathroom sealant), Polymorph, Coolmorph, Oyumaru, Bake and Bend and Mold Maker. Some of these will be available for you to try.
Please bring along interesting items to take impressions of, but not commercially made stamps and texture sheets. Here are some suggestions:-
Shoes with interesting soles
Fabrics
Pebbles
Teeth (see Jude for that one)
This will be a good opportunity to compare a large range of the different products available – avoiding unnecessary expense and storage of unwanted items.
AGM: The London Polymer Clay Group AGM will take place at 12 noon. A short Annual Report and financial report will be presented together with nominations for the steering group.
