“I feel very happy for having been able to show you parts of my creative processes. Thank you very much for attending this course carefully and extending your doubts in the forum. Now we are going to review the key phases of the project so that you can share it with the Domestika community. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. The idea and the materials Think about the piece that you want to create or that you need in your home, office, etc. I made a set of three multipurpose objects: a tray, a container and a paperweight. Then, find the material you have on hand to make the molds. And, when assembling them, choose where the materials will be joined so that the marks of the joints are not seen in the final piece.

Next, it's time to unmold your piece so that you can polish it in the last step of the process. Final touches and final result Finally, remember to sand and polish the pieces with water.

The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it.

Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you in the forum!”
