Another example of Casting Clay Positive

The following example illustrates casting a clay positive using my first ever multi-piece mold. In releasing the mold, the undercut piece was left in place until the clay was almost leatherhard. This was done to ensure that the undercut form had sufficient strength as to not slump, thus retaining it's shape.
