Michael Joy teaching how to pour silicone
"Michael Joy is truly a master. I have learned so much in three days...it's amazing. He has taught me a skill that gives me an edge in the very competitive culinary field. Also, the book, Confectionery Art Casting, is mind blowing and so detailed in the instruction, even a novice like me can understand it. Thank you Michael!"

"What I didn't expect from this class was the tremendous depth of knowledge about a vast array of mold making concerns and materials that Michael not only knew about,.. but also, was clearly able to convey their applications along with many mind expanding ideas capitalizing on what we learned. I went in thinking I would learn a little about mold making, but came out with a much greater understanding of materials and their uses. I will be using the information I learned in this class to further my company and my art."
-Sally Weiner
