The Uncanny Surface
Session Two: June 2-14
Mathew McConnell
The Uncanny Surface
This mold-based workshop will concentrate on producing a series of small tiles, tablets, or low-relief sculptures to be displayed on the wall. I will share my techniques for constructing prototype forms with complex and rich surfaces using simple and widely available materials. After we build our prototypes, we will construct high quality, fiber-reinforced one-part plaster molds. Finally, I will share my method for layering casting slip within a press mold to transfer the textures of our forms into clay with an uncanny level of detail. This workshop will be great for anyone new to plaster mold-making or those looking to expand their repertoire of surface techniques in clay. Low-fire, electric. All levels. Lower clay studio.
