Testing Glass Spoon Heads

Testing Glass Spoon Heads

Before I decided that the glass spoon heads would be too uncomfortable to eat off of, I created several spoon head molds. I wanted the spoons to have various textures on them to heighten one's senses and awareness to what they were eating off of. I embedded the clay spoon heads into a bed of clay at the leather hard stage. I then sealed the cottle boards to avoid and plaster from leaking out.

Once I measured the height, width and depth of the spoons, I was able to measure out how much material I would need to create the mold. 

After I let the molds set up for a few hours, they were ready to have glass slumped into.
