HALLOWEEN Skull out of clay - 4-Piece Plaster Mold Tutorial

In this video from Corvus Moon Studio, Master Potter Robert Briggs takes you step by step through the fascinating process of turning a 3D printed skull into a finished ceramic casting. Using a model sourced from Thingiverse, Robert demonstrates how to create a 4-piece plaster mold, perfect for capturing all the fine details of the skull design.

The video shows the entire workflow—from prepping the 3D print, building mold walls, and carefully pouring plaster, to the big reveal of a fully functional mold. For makers and potters curious about combining digital design with traditional ceramics, this project bridges the gap between modern 3D printing and age-old slip casting techniques.

Once the plaster mold is complete, Robert pours in casting slip and shows the exciting moment of pulling the freshly cast ceramic skull from the mold. Whether you’re into pottery, slip casting, 3D printing, or just love skull art, this tutorial offers tons of inspiration for your own studio practice.
