Went to B and Q today to get some pieces for my recorder device because the workshop didn't have the materials. Going back into the workshop on friday because today the metal workshop was closed.

Sketch model of my alginate moulder. I have decided to roll alginate (a quick drying mould) onto the weathered walls to pick up all the cracks, chips, holes and erosion. I began testing out the alginate today however it didn't set properly so i am going to have to try again this weekend.
I have decided to make the main body of the roller out of plastic (available at the chelsea shop), metal for the connection and wood to make an ergonomic handle.
Once I have got the alginate mould I am going to cast it in clay and wax to see the different effects, and then take some rubbings of the final models.

My chosen site for the recorder project is Crucifix Lane due to the damp and dark interior. I am going to record the decay and erosion of the bricks.
