Mold Making & Slipcasting with Peter Pincus

This two-day demonstration workshop will provide an in-depth look into complex slip-casting techniques. Peter will demonstrate casting plaster on and off the potter’s wheel, hand-forming wet plaster, cutting and reassembling molds, approaches for simple and complex forms and systems for efficient casting through the production of a plaster mold. In addition, he will demonstrate layering colored porcelain slip onto the surfaces of plaster molds to produce porcelain veneered surfaces on pottery. Space is limited for this special workshop.
