About Mold Shop LALA

I'm always creating things that don't exist anywhere else.

 

I started LALA when my children were small and I was looking for work I could do from home. Resin was easy, but I was concerned about harmful substances, making it difficult to work with near young children.

That's when I discovered Jesmonite. It's safe to use even with children around because it doesn't produce harmful substances. It's easy to start, yet the more you do it, the deeper it gets. I thought, "This is it."

But once I started, I found that most artists were from overseas, and they all used the same molds. The only way to differentiate was through color and technique. I felt there were limits to that.

I looked for molds of Japanese samurai helmets, kagami mochi, and seasonal patterns—but couldn't find them anywhere. So, I decided to make them myself. I taught myself everything from scratch, including 3D data and mold making.

Mold Shop LALA is a specialty store for silicone molds exclusively for Jesmonite.

I design each mold myself, wanting to give form to the moments when artists think, "I wish I had a mold like this." You can enjoy crafting even in a small home or with children around. And I want you to discover even more "things you want to make."

I would be happy if I could help with that.
