Sculpting with Fiberglass: Transforming Imagination into Resilient Art
Working with fiberglass demands a meticulous process, blending craftsmanship with innovative approaches. Working with Mike Quinn I made sure to follow his step-by-step methodology to ensure the creation of superior fiberglass sculptures. These steps encompass the artist delicately applying layers of fiberglass cloth and resin, building up the sculpture's structure. This method allows for remarkable detail while granting the final piece the resilience and strength characteristic of fiberglass.

Rubber mold-making is an essential technique in the field of sculpture and casting. It allows artists to replicate intricate details and achieve consistent results. Understanding the process of rubber mold making can significantly enhance your work. Mike Quinn took me step-by-step through creating these rubber molds. He taught me that the mixing process was the most crucial part to be thorough on; since if the rubber isn’t fully mixed it won’t harden.
