Join artist Rhonda Weppler in a hands-on workshop. Learn how to make your own custom silicone putty mold of a tiny object like a button. You can also experiment with a variety of materials and clays to push into your molds for casting including edible fondant and polymer clay. Each participant will also get a chance to use pre-made push molds to make a contribution to the Minoru Complex community art project.
