Of CASTING figures in plaifter. Befides what is faid of
making a cavity for cafting in wax, fee WAX (fee the articles
FOUNDERY and STATUES) it will be no hard matter to
conceive how figures are made of plaifter; for, it being eafily
tempered, and running as eafily, it is poured into the mould,
and fometimes the figures are taken out all in one piece, efpe-
cially when the founder is mafter of his bufmefs, and well ex-
perienced in it.
All the art is to chufe good plaifter in ftone, that there may
be no coal among it; it ought to be well burnt, well pounded,
very white, and lifted through a fine lieve ; however, if it is a
great figure, it is moulded at feveral times, and even feveral part5
of the figure, in each piece of the cavity, are half filled before
they are fet together, that they may hold the better, and the bet-
ter form all the parts.
We fee, by what Pliny writes, that the cuftom of making
moulds of plaifter is very ancient', and that it was made ufe of
Ci 4 about
Icuro, with two plates of box, then with three, like drawings.
