“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 and Casting the Maquette'
picks up where 'Sculpture 2, 'Character Maquettes' left off.
Beginning with the sculpture, this four hour lecture takes
the student through preparing the sculpture to be molded, by
first cutting the sculpture into separate pieces, right up
to pulling plastic casts out of the silicone flexible molds
and assembling them. Through an intricately detailed step-by-step
process, students will learn how to make a flexible silicone
Matrix mold, individual box molds and then how to produce plastic
castings of all the sculpture parts. From there it illustrates
assembly techniques, covering seaming and patching of the plastic
parts, then moves on to priming and getting the student ready
for painting and finishing their project, all while exposing
the viewer 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 and casting their own projects.
