CERAMICS PLASTER MOLDING
Do you want to make your own ceramics dinner plate set? In this workshop we will be making ceramic plates with a plaster mold. First a cold will be cast, which will then be filled with clay to produce the object. The mold will be yours to keep and allows the production of identical ceramic pieces. In this workshop you will create your own mold and have one plate cast, fired, and glazed. If you wish to create more plates, please also register for the additional workshop to make the additional plates. In the supplementary workshop, there will be no instruction involved and you will be able to make 3 – 4 plates. The fee covers the cost of firing and glazing.
When the work has been glazed and fired, we will inform you when it’s ready for pick up.
