Mold making & resin casting lesson

65


65 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 27, 2017

Resin casting and mold making can be overwhelming and most people aren't sure where to start. Well, look no further!

I will teach you how to make silicone rubber molds from an original, how to construct mold boxes and how to make resin castings from the silicone molds we'all make. You'll learn techniques that make for great pours with little to no bubbling, youll learn about mold upkeep and storage, you'll learn about the various materials available on the market and where to get them, how to store them and how to use them. You'll also be taught mixing and measuring technique, you'll learn about quickening agents and release agents too.

After this lesson you'll be all set to start making your very own molds and casting whatever your creative brain dreams up from them!

About Nikki Screamstress

I am the designer, general crazy lass and owner behind Dark Knits Boutique, you can check out my work at www.darkknits.ca or www.facebook.com/darkknitsboutique I founded DKB on the belief that EVER...YONE is beautiful and that a well fitted piece of clothing can be a reflection of that unique beauty within each and every person I've had the pleasure of working with. All of this has led me towards working with the many folk fighting for more inclusive fashion and film industries, and it's ignited a spark that I am proud to see is catching! I'm what we jokingly call a second generation seamstress, since my gran and I both love creating things and sewing, and that love of sewing skipped my momma (not to say she's not uuuber creative like the rest of us, she's a painter extroidinaire, but not so much a lover of the sewing machine!) I have been sewing professionally for more than ten years, working in many industries ranging from theatrical and film to wedding to kink and latex. All that experience and working with people of all shapes and sizes has made me pretty shameless and a special kind of nutty- you kind of have to be when your up in people's business taking measures and what not. I apprenticed &I learned the basics under the tutelage of my grandmother, a couture seamstress and general tinker+artisan like myself. I also possess a fashion design and merchandising diploma from Stratford institute as well as multiple supplemental business management, management courses and, though somewhat unrelated- I hold a diploma in civil engineering. show more
