Mould Making for Slip-Cast and Pressed Forms
Included in this course are two moulds for you to keep, which you will make from your chosen forms.
Press Moulding and Slip Casting are both processes for quickly reproducing multiples of the same form. The moulds will be cast from forms of your choosing, which you can bring or choose from a section at the studio, this could be bowls, beakers or plates. We will send detailed information on suitable forms when you book.
As part of the course you have a go at slip casting and press moulding, including being taught techniques for casting with multi-coloured slips and you will produce a couple of items that we will fire.

Sculptural Ceramics
Included in this course is small set of tools, formers and foam, which you will be using during the course and a firing tray and wadding to take away (the course will cover what these are for).
This day will cover a wide variety of techniques used in constructing sculptural forms, including work with slabs, coils and pinch pots, this may result in a sculpture that you choose to continue working on and fire, but the focus of the course is skills development rather than completing a work.
There will be a lot of emphasis on methods of supporting work during construction, drying and during firing. This includes plaster formers, foam, bubble wrap, ceramic supports and wadding.
