    Any book on sculpture will discuss making of molds of sculpture. The methods include making a flexible mold from rubber (perhaps backed with plaster for strength) and making a piece mold which is rigid and comes off in sections that must be carefully located on parting lines so undercuts do not occur. If casting is done in metal, life gets more complicated as the mold material must withstand the heat and often has a core to reduce the amount of metal. For modest sized pieces, I prefer making a flexible mold with latex and then making a wax positive which I further work for lost wax casting in investment.
