Beginning with objects that students have made or found, we will make plaster molds. While this workshop will primarily focus on how to make molds for slip-casting porcelain and press-molding clay, we will also discuss casting in other materials such as paper, plasters, and synthetic materials. Every participant will complete at least one working mold which they can continue to use when they return home. Students will leave with the skills to continue to make molds as well as use them.
