Hi everyone

Does anyone know a good place to buy the Hirst Arts Molds in the UK? Or any good alternative to them?

I really like the look of them but can only find a US shop.

Thanks

Pretty sure they are only US which is why I have never bought them. Their shipping costs are quite expensive.

I bought 10 from the US direct from Hirst, it worked out cheaper than UK... But if you only want 1-2 then google uk will help you find it!

Also, if you don't want to bother with the casting process itself, there are lots of sites selling casts of lots of different molds for a pretty cheap price.

I have a few Hirst Arts moulds in the past and I have to say....they are in high demand. Even going on Ebay, they receive a large number of watchers which bid last minute and I have never seen a hirst arts mould go cheap or seen anyone pick up what you would call a bargain.

I would go with Whafrog's suggestion, as the reason I got rid of mine were...

1. the bricks really don't match the 28mm scale.
2. They are an absolute pain in the backside to cast, as the moulds are small and only allow the casting of a few bricks at a time.
