About

Ever want to get a second chance with a piece, or want two or more people to get to own it?  We will be making silicon molds that can be injected with wax to make duplicates.  The waxes can then be cast in one of our casting classes or at casting club.  Please bring several small pieces of your own original work, carved waxes, non copy written object, or piece of nature you might want to mold.  (no rubber or hollow objects)  Bring options to choose from. We will Sprue the object, mix and pour the RTV material on day one.  On day two, we will clean up and cut the molds and inject them with wax.
