Participants will have the opportunity to think through making and explore material qualities hands-on.

What Will I Do Day 1 – Methods and Experimentation
Day one will introduce the two main casting materials that we will be using through several
quick moulding and casting exercises including making relief panels from clay and sketch
moulds from plastic sheet/cardboard. We will follow this up by exploring colouring through
making bowl forms to also understand reinforcement of plaster to enable it be cast hollow.
We will end the day with by discussing possible personal projects for the following day and
other techniques that participants might wish to see demonstrated.

Day 2 – Personal Project and Extrapolation
The second day is an open-ended exploration of the techniques learnt on day one through
the development of a small personal project. The tutor will be on hand to assist and go over
techniques explored on the first day and offer advice and possible routes for development.
There will also be small demonstrations of various forms of finishing plaster and concrete
and discussions focused on where best to use each material and alternative materials and
methods.

Please feel free to bring material to experiment with for mould making and casting into.

What Will I Learn This workshop is designed to both introduce participants to the methods and processes involved in casting and moulding in plaster and concrete, whilst also encouraging the exploration of experimental mould construction and the possibilities of negative space (the mould) and positive space (the cast).
