Introduction to Silicone Mold Making

Chicago, IL

These seminars are designed to immerse you in the world of moldmaking and casting, combining theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on experience. We will use slides, videos, and live demonstrations to showcase various techniques and materials. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to actively participate in hands-on sessions where you can apply what you've learned by creating your own molds and castings under the guidance of experienced instructors. Following the seminar, attendees can discuss their specific projects with our technicians and shop in our showrooms. Due to the popularity of our seminars, registration is on a first-paid, first-in basis, and we maintain small class sizes to enhance learning and interaction.
