Course Description

Image by Lauren Schaffer

This studio course is designed for students to begin investigating a range of historical and contemporary mould-making techniques and applications in art practice. Students will experiment with techniques that range from basic plaster piece-moulds to mixed-media, constructed and reductive moulds. Students will also be encouraged to explore the possibilities of malleable and site-based casting. General mould making and casting materials will include plaster, cement, wax, clay, rubbers, polymers and organic materials like gelatin. Slide presentations, short readings and discussions on the use of mould making in contemporary and historic art practices will supplement the course's studio work.
