14 hours Workshop

The Plaster Molds

Plaster molds: 14-hour workshop divided into 2 sessions of 7 hours each.

 

  • The course contemplates the plaster as a very important tool in the work of every ceramist. You will be taught how to choose the plaster and how to prepare it according to the needs of your project. You will create a multiple part mold.
  • You will learn how to make the best use of your molds and how to prepare and use the casting slips.

This mold making and slip casting workshop is very useful to develop your work as a ceramicist. You will be surprised by the infinite possibilities that the use of plaster adds to your projects.

 

And if, once you have finished this course, you still want to go a step further in your ceramic practice, perhaps the porcelain modeling course would be of your interest.

 

We are very proud of our students creations. Visit our Instagram and Facebook pages to see what they’re up to!
