how do I make a mold for ceramics?

[color="Purple"]I have been thinking about this, I probably need to get some clay and just figure it out.
Do I make a sculpt first then pour palster of paris over it?
I think it would be fun to try it. I have been on the making end of ceramics, pouring, cleaning, painting, firing etc. and thought it would be fun to make a mold.
Thank you all in advance, I am new to this site and this is my first question...thanks

to start with, a mold for a cup-a coffee mug like-hold about 12-14 oz,
does that help?
And I was thinking about doing a stein mold (with a lid) too, with the viking dragon detail. It would be about 12-16" tall., or something like that.
Mold sorta like that, what do you think?
Thanks, Pamics
