Smooth-On Moldmaking & Casting Seminars:
More Popular Than Ever - Filling Up Fast!

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 are invited to 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. Rooms are available at local hotels. Call 800.762.0744 or 610.252.5800. Due to the popularity of these seminars, slots are booked on a first-paid, first-in basis. Class size will not be increased.

In demonstrating techniques for mold making and casting, we use aerosol release agents, urethane compounds containing isocyanates and other products that may be harmful to certain individuals. Although we emphasize safety and provide adequate ventilation in our classroom, you should not take this class if you suffer from asthma or other breathing disorders. Also, if you are allergic / sensitized to isocyanates, you should not take this class.
