As I hope this site illustrates, moulds are objects of great interest and beauty; but how are they made? Now you can buy a DVD showing how the only professional mould maker in England continues his craft. Ron MacDonald joined the firm of Edwin Amies & Son Ltd in 1948 and continues to run the business near Maidstone. This DVD shows all stages of the intricate manufacturing process.
You can obtain the DVD for £12.50 including postage and packing from the British Association of Paper Historians (BAPH) by contacting [email protected]; this version is compatible with PAL video format. For North America you may wish to have NTSC video format in which case please order direct from the makers http://www.iarecordings.org/productions/p20.html, price £13.45.
I was able to see the DVD for the first time at the BAPH spring meeting and can thoroughly recommend it.
