Nicely done Milo, i’m going to be emailing you as I’ve got about 6 sculpts in various clays and Im still struggling to get the finish I want on the surface before making a mold. Im wondering if I have to make a mold, cast in plaster so I can sand and polish and then make my ceramic production molds.

Thanks for watching! 😃

Envious of talent like this.
What are the next steps in the process and are you planning on doing more videos to showcase the path to the final product?
Curious to know what some of the material expenses are along the way.

[@smoothon]

Yes, this project will continue. Stay tuned!
