Description

This course will teach you all you need to know to reproduce a figure that you like or your sculpture.

We will learn how to make a two-part mold that will be light and durable. I will teach you how to avoid bubbles without having a pressure chamber or a vacuum chamber.


The mold will consist of two silicone rubber parts (A and B) and two mother molds (A and B). The mother mold helps the silicone rubber keep its shape and allows us to use less silicone than normal, making this type of mold a cheaper option than the silicone rubber block molds we find on Youtube.


I will go about all the materials needed in detail and I will give you different options that you might be able to find in your country.

Once we've created the mold, I will teach you how to make a polyurethane resin copy. This type of resin copies details really well and the result is wonderful.


The course is divided into three parts:

Hope you'll enjoy the process!
