Tom Sargent -  Ceramics Mold    Making Specialist

 Tom has been working in the ceramics industry for over twenty-five years.  In 1974, after a tour of duty with the U.S. Army in Vietnam and Columbus, Georgia, Tom returned to LaBelle and began working in the family ceramics business, "Wood 'N Ceramics".  He poured large molds and helped Dad deliver greenware in the "Jolly Greenware Giant".
 The years spent pouring greenware in many different kinds of molds helped him learn a lot about the good and bad elements of mold design.  He put this knowledge and understanding to good use when he and our father, Ken Sargent, began making molds under the business name "Master Sargent Molds" in 1985.
 In addition to his work in the family business, Tom has worked for L&P Ceramics in Ft. Myers, pouring greenware and making molds.
 In January 1994, Dad passed the mold business on to Tom.  Tom has worked to update and increase the mold line of "Master Sargent Molds" and has been producing custom-made molds on commission to a variety of businesses.
