The emphasis of this course is on plaster-casting techniques for making high-resolution molds. The course also explores surface glazing, colored clays and high-temperature reduction salt firings. Students choose a form, which may be derived from hard-edged industrial materials (i.e. machine parts or commercial products) or organic items from nature (i.e. vegetables, fruits, biomorphic shapes) and produce their concept in multiples. Works may range from sculptural assemblage to functional pouring vessels, such as teapots.
