About
Overview
Unlock the creative potential of plaster in this hands-on exploration of mold making and form development. Plaster (r)evolution guides participants through processes that transform prototypes into multiples — discovering how repetition can inspire reinvention. From mixing and pouring to carving, casting, and turning, you'll learn techniques that bridge sculpture, design, and functional making. Emphasis will be placed on experimentation, play, and the evolution of ideas, culminating in a soda or salt firing that brings your work to life.
