Mrs. Bennett buys her molds from small shops that are selling out. If purchased new. molds cost anywhere from $5.00 to $100.00 each, which can turn out to be a large investment if a ceramic worker wants a collection of his own molds. Mrs. Bennett’s few hundred molds range in size from tiny little animal casts, no bigger than a baby's hand, to a very large temple goddess which sits impressively by itself on a stool. They are all made of plaster, which absorbs the moisture in the clay, and though it is possible to make molds by hand in a small workshop like Mrs. Bennett's, it is difficult and time consuming.
Mrs. Bennett has no desire to expand her workshop. "I just want to go on with it as long as I'm able...I'm learning as I go, and I even learn from the girls," she explains. She finds time every day to go down to her basement and work on her ceramics, whether it’s just Cleaning up, firing for her pupils, or working on one of her own molds. Perhaps one of the things that she likes best about her hobby, as she calls it, is that it “keeps me in contact with other people.”
