Recently completed a unique mold-making project with . We created these rubber production molds for the ceramic slip casting process. The rubber block molds in the photo will be filled with plaster to create working production molds which will be filled with liquid clay then drained to leave a hollow casting of a semi truck that will function as a coin bank ! Do you have an idea that we can help bring to life through sculpting and mold making? design

Starting out the week with some plaster mold making for reproducing a few rare Louis Sullivan Terra cotta originals. Sullivan was an architect till he passed in 1924. He was known as the “father of skyscrapers” He was also a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright. These molds will be used to create new pieces for a special project incorporating his style into a new Terra Cotta facade.
Had a great time bringing the out to play with and his excellent team to create an impressive 5 course meal from the fires . Cheers🔥🔥🔥
