Description

Explore mold making in ceramics in this 3 part workshop series!

Learn how to preserve and replicate objects in clay! Whether you want to reproduce a functional vessel or a sculptural form to build off of, plaster molds offer an accessible method for replicating original or referential pieces. This workshop will focus on the creativity and versatility of plaster mold-making and casting, using both casting slip and pressed clay. The goal is to create a pair of plaster molds students can use to produce a series of objects that can be decorated or modified in experimental ways.

In the first session, students will bring their own objects and learn how to make a mold. In the second session, students will learn slip casting and press casting to prepare for bisque. In the third session, students will learn how to finish their cast objects.

2 Open Studio sessions will be included with purchase of the course to work on projects. Open Studio hours are Monday (3-6pm), Thursday (3-6pm) and Sunday (5-8pm).

This course is for students of all skill levels, no experience is needed.
