Working with: Latex!

another material we attempted to use was liquid latex. the idea was to create rubber moulds of our clay shapes and to see if we preferred this to the clay. again, the latex was a long drawn out process of layering and drying like paint to build up into a thick yellow rubber material. this process was far messier then the clay however the end result was a lot more agile. it could be pulled and pinned and there was less chance of it breaking. if you happened to break it then you could simply apply another layer of latex in its liquid formation and wait for it to dry. this was a more practical material to use outside in our community project work as it was resistant to more types of weather than the clay. i never did use latex in my final outcome as it was a much longer action then the clay as it involved creating clay moulds to form the latex shapes. i would defiantly consider using it in future projects, particularly ones that involve work outside.
