Wow! that was fascinating and informative. I have only ever hand made flat paper before. This looks so challenging and enjoyable.

That is stunning. Does Ms. Landes have any educational resources like videos or books for more detailed instructions? Thank you so much

how do you keep the cast paper from warping later from humidity?

Hi I have a question - I’ve made a new plaster mold of a horse head and I am using pulped paper with CMS (as I have done before) but this time it seems to be sticking to the plaster mold - i see your paper is nice and stiff once you pull it out of your molds how are you achieving this - what am I doing wrong?

[@jaescala]

I wish I could be of more help. I have never used CMS in the process. Hope you have success with your project.

Why not just make a plaster mold like what is made for slip casting, bone dry, and pour paper pulp into it just like slip. Then the water will get absorbed into the mold and after a time you pour the extra out and let it dry. Has anybody ever done that? Would defloculant help keep the paper low moisture and still viscus just like it does for slip?

There are a few products that are made for that. Flumo is one, Liquashay is another. I forget how much they shrink
