The-Art Sculptor and Moldmaker

🚨 SUMMER IS COMING! 🚨

Believe it or not, the end of the year is sneaking up on us faster than a potter spotting a fresh bag of clay! 😂

If you’re planning on hitting the summer markets, NOW is the time to get those molds sorted and start stocking up. Don’t leave it until December and then wonder why your moldmaker is giving you the “I told you so” look! 😏

Get your orders in early and beat the year-end rush.

📲 WhatsApp me on 082 567 7445 for all your moldmaking needs.

You make the pots. I make the molds. Let’s get cracking! 🏺💪

Some of the BIGGEST molds I’ve made to date… and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! 💪😎

And the best part? The client is collecting them personally! 🙌

Which means I don’t have to hand these beauties over to a courier and spend the next few days wondering whether they’ll arrive looking like molds… or modern art. 😂😂

If you know, you know! 😅

More platter molds on the go — and apparently, “bigger is better” has become the theme! 😂

The round one is a 520mm monster, while the rectangular one comes in at a hefty 610 × 360mm!

At this size, making molds is starting to feel less like moldmaking and more like a gym workout. 💪😂

They may be beasts to move around, but they’re shaping up nicely! 🔨😄

Been doing quite a few platter and plate molds lately!

The process is pretty simple: just send me a profile of the platter or plate, and I use a metal strickle to shape the plaster to the exact profile.

A great way to get consistent, accurate molds for your unique designs.

Pouring the 1st half of a mold for ceramic rings. Patience is the name of the game to prevent unwanted air bubbles.
