Smooth-On's Mold Making & Casting Seminars continue to be extremely popular.
The two-day sessions at our facility in Easton, PA, attract a wide variety of attendees from the fields of sculpture, prototyping, jewelry making, concrete casting, law enforcement, archeology, architectural restoration, candle making and special effects. Participants have traveled from Europe, China, Australia, Russia and other parts of the globe to attend.

This is interactive learning at its best. We use slides, video and demonstrations of various techniques and materials to help you get the most from the experience. Questions about your specific projects are welcome.

Attendees select a model from which they will learn how to make a working mold and then cast into it the next day, and you'll also learn by observing how others make molds and castings of their models.

The class is taught by professional mold makers with assistance from Smooth-On personnel. Class size is limited to maximize effectiveness. Smooth-On provides lunch and light refreshments. Call 800.762.0744 or 610.252.5800 for more information. Due to the popularity of these seminars, slots are booked on a first-paid, first-in basis. Class size will not be increased.
