Mold Mechanisms

Catalog description

This course will concentrate on the fundamentals of plasterwork, mold-making, and slip-casting. Students will first engage in a series of directed exercises to build proficiency, and then apply what they’ve learned to the production of complex mold systems. By way of experimentation, students will broaden conceptualization of positive and negative spatial relationships while developing problem solving capacity. Supporting information relating to historical, cultural, and scientific concerns will be provided to broaden the students' perspectives of ceramic art, design, and industry, as well as its relationship to the larger world of art. **Fee: A materials fee is required for this course, and an additional course fee applied via student account**
