Mould-making
The apprentice mould-maker with my models ready for casting.
The master mould-maker preparing my teapot to make the mould.
Ready to cast the first half of the mould.
Mixing the plaster
Once the plaster is almost ready to set it is poured.
The moulds are tidied up and notched with a broken hacksaw blade before the other half is made.
I was impressed at what these highly-skilled craftsmen could do with just a few basic tools.
