life of a moldmaker

Hello. My name is Derek Haffar. I am an Artist and Educator who has a soft spot for all acts of making. These are only photos that I have taken, that is my rule. Pictures of process and product. I am trying to articulate some vision here, piecing something together…I wonder what it will be. Maybe just a journal of weird images.
