Virtually Seamless Molds and casting in Cold Cast Bronze

July 15-19, 10am - 4:30pm

Workshop Fee: $480

Instructor David Pollard

This workshop will be a hands-on affair.  First, we will spend time learning about different methods of moldmaking through lecture and demonstration, and then each student will build a silicone rubber mold with epoxy putty shell and create a casting from that mold by the end of the week. Moldmaking is an art of problem solving and you will all learn from each other's challenges in this class.  At each stage we will review the techniques being used as well as any challenges classmates may be having and how to solve the problems.  Most of all we will have fun! Moldmaking can be very messy, so bring clothes and shoes that can be sacrificed. Students are encouraged to bring something that they would like to mold, subject to prior approval by the instructor. Sculpture will be provided for those who choose not to bring their own piece to mold.
