carcass casting

[trbruning]

hi all, was wondering if there is an easier way to do carcass casting than the way demonstrated by the jan van hoesen dvd from WASCO. any help is greatly appreciated.

[Doug Bridges]

That's the process. It's not easy to do.

If you are interested in learning from the best, I am working with Jean Roll to set up a class in September at my shop. Stay tuned for details.

Carcass casting is not a beginners project.

alright, thank you both for your input. just figured if you can mold a rock in an easy way that a similar method could be used for carcass casting but i guess im wrong

[Doug Bridges]

Rocks don't have to be posed. They can't move and deform. They typically don't have multiple surfaces where you need to make a multipart mold. Rocks and carcasses, two way different subjects.

tr,
there is a good article in a past breakthrough by Chris Kruger on carcass casting , it is a little different than Jan's. and I found it a little easier when I first started casting.

If it were easy, everyone would be doing it!
