Presented by Filipa Pimental Doak

This introduction to working with plaster allowed participants to learn how to mix properly mix plaster with attention to safety concerns. Each person made a one-piece mould suitable for slip casting.

The second class focussed on mould making and provided the opportunity to make slip-cast pieces from the mould made in the first class. Skills learned included: how to set up the space for slip casting, how to time cast, various decorative techniques using your plaster mould, and proper clean up of pieces to get ideal results.
