This same technique can be used in arts, particularly for making molds and casts. Plaster bandages are available in art stores that mimic the medical usage.
• They can be used in sculptures, jewelry, dress molds, scenery, craft projects and more.
• They prove especially useful for making shell or mother molds, i.e., a rigid shell over a flexible rubber mold that holds the rubber in place without any scope for distortion.
• You can also use plaster bandages to capture molds directly from the human body. They are the ideal choice for making less detailed molds such as in belly casting (popular during pregnancy).
• Experienced artists even make masks by applying plaster bandages directly on the model's face! It should be noted that a plaster bandage will only capture the shape and form and not finer features or textures.
