How are we going to work:

You will be provided with some objects to choose one and build your plaster mold around it. You also have the option to bring your own object, which can be of organic origin (preferably rigid and without seeds or other small elements that may detach from its surface), manufactured, bought, found, or even made by yourself.

You will work with porcelain slip in the dry molds provided by us. You will learn to make alterations to the pieces obtained from the molds such as adding, deforming, piercing, etc.
