The first step is to make a "splash" coat of plaster. This consists of splashing a thin layer of plaster over the area in order to get a good base of plaster on the piece.
Next, the hemp is dipped into the plaster and then placed over the splash coat.
The hemp is about half done. the entire surface will be covered like this.
Once all the hemp is in place, then more plaster is added and smoothed by hand in order to create a clean surface to the mold.
The mold section is finished. Each individual section of the mold will go through this same process.
