This course will focus on playing with multiples created through the ceramic, slip-casting process. Students will study a survey of contemporary artists working with multiples and mold making, as well as the many exciting industrial applications for mold making. Students will then get their hands dirty with an introduction to mixing plaster and learning basic casting of 2 (or more) part molds from found objects. From there, students will apply their new mold-making skills to casting multiples of their own sculpted forms, employing techniques of clay modeling, carving Styrofoam, and constructing paper models. With these multiples, we will play with assemblage by wet and dry joining techniques followed by firing and glazing. Students will be encouraged to think outside the “functional” box of ceramics, by incorporating other materials and experimenting with process. Beginners to ceramics are welcome to enroll. This class would also suit experienced ceramists looking to add a new skill to their arsenal. Materials and tools will be provided. Enrollment in this course includes additional monitored access to the studio on Sunday evenings from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. (Note: There will be no class on Monday, July 5th)
