This series of semi-private lessons will introduce you to basic mold making techniques for slip casting.

This is a course geared towards sharing the process, creating a mold of a specific work for a production process. Students are encouraged to bring their own items to cast, along with a variety of selected vessels from our library of objects. The most complex mold will be 3 parts to ensure it fits within the lesson timeframe.
