Behind The Scenes

Welcome to the Mythical Man workshop, where many of our mythical pieces are made. Each piece is hand crafted and finished with quality checks throughout to ensure a perfect product every time.

There is a lot involved in making a new creature and it can take several months. The first step is to carve the original out of stone or aerated concrete or plaster. Once the original has been fully carved, the next stage is to make either a latex mold or silicone mold.

Once the mold is made, we then need to make what is called an "outer". This outer mold is traditionally made in fibreglass and takes between 3-7 days to complete. We are then able to turn out our first new product. Quite often in the industry, this is referred to as "birthing".
