Sculptural casting technique, alienation, transformation, metamorphosis. Further education training for secondary and high school arts and design teachers, and art educators.

In this workshop, you will gain insight into the production of negative molds, which are commonly used for reproductions in sculpture or design procceses. Different molding materials such as silicone, vinamold, plaster, or alginate will be presented, and their diverse uses will be shown. Casting materials such as plaster, wax, concrete, polymer plaster, or plastics have different requirements for a mold. Factors such as intended quantity, working situation, and budget must also be considered when creating a negative mold. In the practical part of the workshop, you will create a two-piece mold and cast it in one of the provided materials. This will enable you to apply the basic principle to various other objects, and also educational settings, and deepen your understanding in your own artistic and educational projects.
