In this class, students will be guided by a professional prop maker in the art of replicating objects using two-part silicon rubber molds. Building on the concepts of Mold Making I, this course focuses on creating more complex molds. Students will learn techniques to replicate small objects, such as chess pieces, through hands-on task and demonstrations

Participants will gain skills in creating mold flask, mixing and pouring rubber, de-gassing, and duplicating pieces using materials like wax, silicone, and resin. This class is designed to teach the essential techniques for making multi-part molds, enabling students to produce duplicates just like those used in the movie industry for prop making

Note: this class involves the mixing of reactive chemicals, and allergic reactions are a possibility with contact. All students will be required to wear eye protection and vinyl gloves in a well-ventilated area during class.

Work involved –  building a flask “container”, mixing two part compounds, adding release agents, unmolding

Tools/Materials Utilized- (two part rubber mold compound, sculpting clay, Duplo Lego blocks. Acrylic, Mold release spray, razor blades, wax, rubber, silicone, resin).

What to wear:  At RMM, you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing (100% cotton), long pants, and closed-toe, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back.
