Tom Sargent
Ceramics Mold Making Specialist
I have been working in the ceramics industry for over twenty-five years. In 1972, after a tour of duty with the U.S. Army
in Vietnam and Columbus, Georgia, I returned to LaBelle and began working in the family ceramics business,
"Wood 'N Ceramics". I poured large molds and helped Dad deliver greenware in the "Jolly Greenware Giant".
The years spent pouring greenware in many different kinds of molds helped me learn a lot about the good and bad elements
of mold design. I put this knowledge and understanding to good use when my father, Ken Sargent, and I began making
molds under the business name "Master Sargent Molds" in 1985.
In January 1994, Dad passed the mold business on to me. Since then, I have directed my talents toward specialized mold work and
have been producing custom-made molds on commission to a variety of businesses.
