Meet the Maker – Alla from AK Molds
Alla Kletniece – AK Molds
Hi, I’m Alla – the hands, heart, and mind behind AK Molds.
I was born in Latvia, but for over 20 years now, I’ve called Ireland my home.

I’ve always loved working with my hands — candles, soaps, resin… you name it.
Creating brought me joy, peace, and a sense of connection. But the more I worked, the more I longed for something truly mine — not mass-produced moulds from marketplaces, but soft shapes and gentle details that felt personal and inspiring.

So I began developing moulds just for myself. At first, it was just curiosity. Then, a passion.
And one day I thought:
“If I want something this special, maybe others do too?”

That’s how AK Molds was born.

Today, I pour every mould by hand in my small studio here in Co. Louth, Ireland.
I work with talented sculptors and 3D artists to bring original master models to life, and I carefully turn them into high-quality silicone tools for makers like you.

There’s no factory. No shortcuts. Just a one-woman studio, real craftsmanship, and a whole lot of care in every mould.

Thank you for being here — it means more than you know. 💚

Alla Kletniece
Founder & Mold Maker
