Making a two-part mold with Brush-a-Mold.

This past February, students from around the country attended our mold-making and casting workshop.  Students learned how to make one part, two-part, and  mother-molds with our silicone mold-making materials.  In addition, students learned how to cast with our urethane resins and create variety of simple finishes with dyes, metal coatings, and  powders.

A student applies Swell-Shell mothermold on a small sculpture to create a detailed mold for casting.

After applying Brush-a-Mold silicone mold making material on a plaster bust, Swell-Shell mothermold material is applied.

What an awesome group of students! They learned a lot in two days.

Special thanks to Association for Visual Arts and Chattanooga State Technical Community College for co-producing this great workshop!

Let them Mold Cake, by Kathy Gilbert  Chattanooga Times Free Press Article, 12/27/2008

Townsend Atelier’s Knead-a-Mold was used in a gorgeous cake feature in the Winter issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.  The Chattanooga Times Free Press published an article about the magazine feature and the Chattanooga based company that makes Knead-a-Mold.    Click link above to read full article.

Knead-a-Mold was used to create custom molds taken from neoclassical architectural ornaments. White fondant was then cast into the molds and placed on this elegant cake.
