What types of mold making materials can be used?
Comments (1)What design do you want for the pavers ? Squares or some type of design , like a heart or a leaf etc ? There are many molds that you can buy, that may be easier. For Squares , you can make the molds using wood and screws.Unscrew to unmold. You can also use 2" builder grade styrofoam insulation, and cut out the design....See Moreceramic molds
Comments (2)They can be used if you put 5-6 layers of shellac on them and use a real good release agent. They will only last for 1-3 pourings.

I was able to get a totem, owl and a couple planters out of mine before they fell apart. Good luck Carey...See MoreCan silk leaves be used for molds?

She also had ceramic molds and she would pour, clean and glaze vases and china paint them also. I could spend a lot of time listing the items she made from ceramic glazed items and then china painted. She painted anything that stood still for a brief moment! And yes, we also china paint porcelain dolls. Glad to have found this thread! Rosie...See Morebrighteyes
