I started off thinking I wanted to do casting for this project, as I'm doing a point system with seating for joggers. Small samples consisted of Plaster of Paris cast in egg cartons. I learned that casting is not as simple as it may seem. The drying of the samples took longer than expected. I had to cast in small batches because the mix kept hardening before I wanted it to. Overall, it was a good learning experience. I'm still thinking of using casting, but since we're now moving to group work, I'll have to work it out with the rest of the members. Wood or cardboard might be good options.
