in the past, i have often found old duncan tiki molds on ebay....just type in duncan molds and check it out once in awhile.....alot of mom and pop ceramics shops have been going under over the past few years and they try to get rid of alot of their stock molds....here in chicago, i regularly search the shops out and see what molds they have....if they aren't selling them, it's usually pretty inexpensive to have them pour you some castings that you can even paint yourself and have them fire them......i have also found many 1950's/60's asian inspired molds from lamp bases to vases....cool stuff...... if you don't have the facilites to cast and fire your own, find one of these shops.....they will usually pour the mold and fire it for you and they charge peanuts to do it....(probably contributes to why they start to under!) they are all listed in your yellow pages under ceramics. good luck!! |
