Common Sense Guide to Mold-Making” by Dick Sargent

This book is a comprehensive guide to making high quality molds
for ceramics.
Written in everyday language and fully illustrated with photographs,
this book will help you make molds that you will be proud to use and sell.
There are several books, articles, and pamphlets available about
mold- making. But, Tom and I feel that we have covered the subject
in a clear and concise manner that everyone can understand. We offer
nsights and tips on mold-making that have not been available in one place
before.
This guide will help you learn how to make molds for casting
ceramics. You will receive step-by-step, illustrated instructions on how
to make different types of molds. You will learn about tools and
materials used in mold-making and skills and techniques you will need to
master in order to produce truly professional molds. We will discuss
finding, adapting, and anufacturing objects to make molds from, with tips
for working with different materials. Guidelines for analyzing models
to decide where to place mold seams and how many parts the mold must have
for a given model will also be covered. You will find that it is
important to have a well-designed work area with a sturdy workbench and
a place for mixing and disposing of plaster and scrap materials.
It is also important to have your tools organized and within
easy reach.
All of these subjects and more are covered in our new book “The Common
Sense Guide to Mold-Making”.
It is being published by “Image! Communications”, a Ft. Myers Beach, Florida publisher, specializing in technical and creative books.
This book was introduced in October 1996 with initial distribution at the Fall Orlando Ceramic Show by Master Sargent Molds.
