This introductory mold-making class will walk you through identifying and preparing objects for making press molds and two-part molds out of plaster for slip casting. You’ll learn how to prep everyday objects for slip casting molds and how to properly mix plaster for the slip casting process. You will cast objects out of porcelain or stoneware, and we will discuss multiple finishing techniques unique to the casting process.
