Mold & Cast Kit

For the bust you made in an Articulis workshop, or from the Bust Kit.

Turn it into a cold cast bronze that will outlast the clay. Silicone glove, rigid shell, bronze dusted in, patina brought up with a brass brush. Real oxide on real metal, done cold on your table.

Thirty short films. A 44 page illustrated booklet. An app that answers you mid-process.

Every step filmed and on your phone. Mix timers that run while you work. An Ask panel for the questions that come up with silicone on your hands.
