glaze test boats

so its going to take ages to get my really nice moulds sorted and while my 3D prints were at home i decided to make a quick shabby boat mould so that I can fire them quickly and then test glazes on boats that i dont care about going horibly wrong. i started out my making a boat shape out of a blob of scrap clay which i got to a resonable state of smoothness, and then stuck to the table in the plaster room and walled off with more clay ready for pouring plaster, which i obviously then did. i didnt take any photos of that because its so messy and i cant afford to destroy my camera getting plaster all over it and honestly I just don't like how photos look off mobile phones they're sub parr.

Above you can see my mould out in the sun drying after I've poured and then them emptied the slip out. one thin i did find was that it took absolutely bloody ages to dry to a point where it would come out the mould which was partly because the plaster was still fairly wet because i was impatient but also because its one piece I couldn't access the underside at all to let that dry, so for my real moulds i make sure to do this section as at least 2 parts. below you can see two little boats after they've come out of the moulds drying out. they look a bit shitty but who really cares they aren't for display and they're bound to be ruined really because I don't know what I'm doing with glazes yet.
