Molds and Colored Clays
In this workshop we will learn basic mold making and clay mixing. Mold techniques will include press molds, sprig molds, and simple slip casting molds. Clay mixing will cover the development of various clay bodies mixed in liquid form to easily add in colorants. These clay bodies will be both wet hand building clay and slip casting clay that will be use in conjunction with our plaster molds to create functional wares and/or small sculptural objects.
Students can expect to spend $100 – $125Â on materials provided by Pocosin or the instructor. This number is an estimate based on projected student usage and firings, and the final amount could be outside of this range.
