In this workshop, you will learn the techniques involved in modelling plastic sculptural materials such as clay, plasticine and wax. Alongside these skills, you will learn the fundamentals of mould making as a simple means of reproducing original work and found objects using plaster piece moulds and flexible moulds. You will also learn how to apply these skills to cast directly off the body and other larger objects in the constructed and natural environment in situ. Modelling and casting have a long history both in art and design and has many industrial applications. It facilitates the production of one-off original works and identical multiples. You will develop skills in this workshop that will enable you to produce editions of cast objects. This course will consist of demonstrations followed by individual instruction for each student. You will be asked to respond to a series of guided projects which will both help you to develop sculptural skills as well as make work that is relevant to your own interests.
