This 3.5-hour class is designed to show beginners as well as those with some experience the many ways you can use molds to reproduce objects and forms. A mold can help you produce a form that you can’t model yourself, or it can be a quick way to take a form and reproduce dozens of them. We'll talk about plaster molds, one of the most versatile and economical types of mold, as well as molds that can be safely used for hands and faces. Rubber molds can be used to cast plaster, wax, resin. Sand molds allow you to cast metal in a simple backyard foundry. The class will be lecture and demonstration; the instructor recommends bringing a pad to draw on and take notes. Photos are also a good way to capture your thoughts.

NOTE: Students will be emailed the private address of the class in Pennington a week before the class begins.
