A truly amazing feature of pops is they can be cast into any shape you can imagine. In this workshop you will learn how to make simple pop molds from everyday household items, such as glasses, cookie cutters, ice cube trays and even food packaging, from wax paper to plastic juice boxes. Or if you really want to get crafty, experiment with liquid silicone and make molds out of found objects, small toys or characters you sculpt from your imagination.
