Olivier Duhamel Body Casting

A life casting, also called body casting, is a detailed impression of a part of a living body, which is then cast in plaster or other material to make a lifelike, life-size, realistic and very personal sculpture.

New Zealand sculptor Olivier Duhamel to offer a manual on body casting for artists, sculptors and hobbyists.

"In this manual I have focussed on a simple yet wonderfully rewarding project. I have selected affordable and easy to source products and illustrated a method that is both proven and easy to implement, ensuring that you complete your sculpture to satisfaction with a minimum of fuss. The booklet also discusses some more advanced life casting techniques such has hands and feet, pregnant belly, hair and clothe as well as using other casting materials."

A printed version of the manual will be available on Amazon.com in a few weeks.
