The “Your Molds and the Eckman Method® Program” is for advanced artists working with silicone, latex molds, fiberglass or similar molds. This is for mediums such as wax for bronze, paper, clay, resins, etc. (for sculptures). This program teaches artists how to recreate their pieces in museum-quality cast paper, offering more detail than they can do in their present medium. Professional artists will like getting more for their pieces than they do with bronzes because they do the finish work not a foundry!

In step-by-step fashion, Allen recreates the magic he brought to life in the bronze piece below “Taking the Bull with the Bow,” as a cast paper sculpture.  The DVD shows every step to illustrate (to artists) how they can use their molds to accomplish the same results. This can be done by casting their molds with EFA pulp, finishing with EFA paper and the “Your molds and the Eckman Method® Program”. The paper is very much like metal, fusing paper fibers together with a hard and acid-free result that is completely archival.
