Slip Casting Workshop: BRAND NEW PROCESS TO CAC!
Summer Workshop | Available
Have you ever wondered how to use plaster molds to make slip casted sculptures and pots or how commercial pottery, sculptures and figurines are created? Join us in a brand-new style of ceramics to the Community Arts Center!
We will learn the whole process including mixing the slip, learning about recipes, what makes slip casting unique, how to cast, time needed for curing, how to clean the work/molds and how to create abstract sculptures using multiple casted objects and combining them into cohesive works of art.
No experience is necessary.
I have a stockpile of 20+ commercial molds we can work with so there is no need to have any yourselves. This is just the beginning of slip casting workshops at the studio. Come join us as we expand the scope of ceramics at CAC! Future workshops for plaster mold making to follow the basics that we will go over here. Hope you will join us!
- Clay is not included in the supply fee. Clay purchased with your registration needs to be pick up in this semester. Clay purchases do not carry over from one semester to the next when purchased with the class. Clay can be purchased in the office as needed throughout the semester.
