RandomDesign’s workshop aims to allay participants’ fears and demonstrate the advantages of the technique. It is intended as an introduction to the broad topic of molding and casting.
Various types of mold production will be presented using numerous examples brought along and simple as well as more complex production methods will be explained. The workshop will also explain what is important when selecting the different types of silicone depending on the application. The second part of the workshop will then focus on the resins used for casting. Here too, the different applications are explained using examples. Due to the large number of different products, the focus is primarily on silicones and resins that are well suited for use in cosplay.
