I made a Robert Muldoon mug ...

Kat picked up this mould from Hospice outlet.
Thought it looked like Muldoon.


I tried pressing some stoneware clay into it to get an impression but I wasn't satisfied ...


... so I made my remaining earthenware clay into slip and cast one and fettled it.

third attempt!

I must admit I have a lot to learn about casting but at least the shape is clear to see.

This Muldoon sculpture was also used for a bronze-coloured plastic money box.

Any ideas who made it?
.

Wow what an interesting thing to find in an op shop Kat and what an interesting thing to make Jeremy!  
Incidentally yesterday there was a slip casting demo at the CL museum. It was very well attended and here's hoping they hold another. I had other things on so I couldn't go unfortunately.

a blast from the past!..

This looks like it might be the same mug with the handle on the side of the head. https://www.trademe.co.nz/3611748139
