Workshop description
In this workshop, we will look at the possibility of duplicating a simple mold and creating a fantastic object from the resulting individual parts.
From a smaller object or a simply modeled form, we will make a one-piece plaster impression mold. We use this after a drying phase and squeeze it out with clay to duplicate the form. Through experimentation, we explore different ways of joining the individual parts. In the next step, we create our fantastic object from the serially produced parts and free construction, and the finished object can be painted with colorful engobes if desired.
The finished object can be fired and glazed after an appropriate drying phase. However, this is not part of this workshop.
Please bring along:
Modeling tools, knife, spray bottle, wheel, brush, work board, plastic foil, packing material
Material fee:
A material fee of 20 euros is payable for 10 kilos of clay and colored engobes. If desired, the figure can be fired - this will be charged separately.
Price:
€ 380,- (excl. Materialkosten)
Workshop leader
The artist Barbara Schmid studied at the University of Art and Industrial Design Linz, Department of Plastic Concepts/Ceramics and has been working in the art studios of the city of Graz in the former Taggerwerk since 2015. In her work, she often focuses on the material clay in its diverse forms of appearance and condition and uses this to explore themes between society and art.
Here are impressions from an earlier Atelierklasse.
