Adult Mold Making and Slipcasting Course Wednesday evenings (February)

This course is perfect for anyone interested in exploring the world of ceramics, whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist. You'll start by learning about mold making materials and techniques, and then move on to creating your own one-piece molds. Once you've created your molds, you'll learn how to pour and cast liquid clay into them, creating beautiful and functional cups and bowls. In addition to creating your own pieces, you'll also have the opportunity to experiment with decorating techniques such as underglaze, slip trailing, and sgraffito, as well as glazing methods to add color and texture to your pieces. By the end of the course, you'll have gained a solid foundation in mold making and slip casting, and will have created a beautiful set of handmade ceramics to enjoy for years to come. On Week three while we wait for your moulds to fully dry we will make a hand building project.
