This five-day workshop will provide an in-depth experience into the working properties of plaster and a deeper understanding of mold design. Demonstrations will include casting plaster on and off of the potter’s wheel, hand-forming wet plaster, cutting and reassembling molds, designing molds for simple and complex forms, and developing systems for efficient casting. Participants will experiment with
numerous processes and produce slipcasting
molds of their own. Students
