Mold Making

After an artist's original piece has been sculpted, a silicone rubber mold must be made.
Layers of liquid rubber are applied to the original sculpture to capture the fine detail. After the rubber has set, a thick plaster mixture is applied and given time to harden to create a rigid "mother mold" to help preserve the firm shape.
Depending on the size of the piece, a mold can be made in several pieces to allow for a more excellent wax pour and ease of assembly.
