After working on prototypes for several months, I poured my first prototype, "Reading Glass Holders," today and learned many techniques.

My next projects will be inserts for lidded containers and double walled forms. Lastly, rapid prototyped forms will be the grand finale!

Many thanks, I had a perfect day at Laguna Clay working with a master mold maker.
