“I have looked high and
low for useful information and techniques related to my
field of Sculpture in the Entertainment Industry. So I
was thrilled when I came across John Brown's Gnomon Workshop Sculpture
series. He provides clear,
practical and efficient lessons learned from his many years
of experience. John teaches a process from scratch that will benefit everyone
from novice to professional and will be helpful to an artist
even beyond
sculpture. Excellent!”

'Molding & Casting the
Head' picks up where 'Sculpting the Detailed Character Head'
left off. Beginning with the sculpture, this four hour lecture
takes the student through preparing the sculpture to be molded,
right up to pulling a plaster cast out of the mold. Through
a step-by-step process, students will learn a variety of mold
making techniques, how to break the sculpture up for individual
molding, how to make a flexible silicone Matrix mold, and then
on to producing a casting of the sculpture. All while being
exposed to the special materials and tricks of this trade.
Students will also learn how to avoid the practical pitfalls
associated with this kind of work, walking away with a solid
foundation for molding & casting their own projects.
