To produce chalk you need a Chalk Mould. A chalk mould is a hollow

cavity into which you pour your chalk solution; the solution becomes
chalk upon solidification. The most common type of chalk mould in use
is the Rubber Chalk Mould it is durable, portable and affordable. It is
made of hard, reinforced rubber and it comes in different cavities. Just
arrange the rubber chalk mould on a table and you are good to go.

Chalk making is a simple process it involves mixing, pouring and drying.

No skill or practical training is required to produce chalk, anybody can
produce chalk. You need to mix Plaster of Paris and Calcium Carbonate
with water in the right proportion and pour the liquid into the mould it
becomes chalk when it solidifies. After about 15-20 minutes of pouring
the solution into the mould, loosen it and bring out the chalk for drying.

Drying is done by spreading the chalk in the sun; during raining season
the chalk can be spread in an enclosed or covered place with good
circulation of air the chalk will dry.
