Sculptor • Resin Fabricator • Mould Maker

Jessica Rysyk is a Toronto-based sculptor and resin fabrication specialist working across custom sculpture, mould-making, casting, prototyping and large-scale fabrication.

With a background in Sculpture and Installation from OCAD University and extensive hands-on experience in plastics, silicone mould-making, casting and fabrication, Jessica works with artists, designers, architects, production companies, brands and institutions to turn complex ideas into physical objects.

Her practice combines traditional sculptural processes with technical fabrication, allowing her to take a project from an initial concept, drawing or prototype through mould development, casting and finishing. She specializes in custom silicone moulds, epoxy and polyurethane casting, large-format moulds and casts, prototypes, multiples and one-of-a-kind fabricated objects.

Jessica is particularly interested in projects that require a specialized fabrication approach or a material solution that cannot be achieved through conventional production. Her work can range from highly polished, translucent resin objects with a glass-like appearance to durable structural casts, sculptural installations, props and production components.

Custom Fabrication & Collaboration

Jessica accepts commissions and fabrication projects for:

Artists & Art Practices
Mould-making, casting, editions, replicas, prototypes and fabrication support for sculpture and installation.

Film, Television & Puppetry
Specialty moulds, resin and polyurethane casts, replicas, sculptural components, prototypes and production fabrication.

Architecture & Interior Design
Custom sculptural objects, architectural elements, translucent forms, material samples and site-specific fabricated pieces.

Brands & Experiential Projects
Custom objects, installations, prototypes, multiples and unusual physical components for campaigns, activations and events.

Creative & Commercial Fabrication
When a project requires something that cannot simply be purchased off the shelf, Jessica works collaboratively with clients to develop a practical and visually compelling fabrication solution.
