The Tower of Babel – behind the scenes
Exciting times the samples are done and we are now in full production. The original models are made from plaster. A block mould is made of these and tests are cast in bone china. After all the samples have been signed off, a mould of the original mould is made, called a case. Then multiple moulds are made from this. With accuracy in size being so important and quality of the final pieces being paramount each mould will only be used for about 20 casts.
