March 25 & 26
10 am-4 pm EST
@Townsend Atelier
In this two-day workshop students will learn three different processes that they can easily replicate in their home or studio to create multiple editions of an object. This is a great technique for an artist or hobbyist interested in using these skills for sculpture, restoration, food molds, cake decorating, soap making, and much more.
Students will learn how to create a small sculpture in clay, make a one-part mold of their sculpture, and then cast multiples using a variety of casting materials. Students will sculpt 2-4 facial features of their choosing (an eye, a nose, a mouth, or an ear) from live models in oil clay. Then they will pick one of their sculptures to create a mold using Knead-a-Mold, a two part silicone mold making material. After the mold has sufficiently cured, the students will learn how to cast a material in the mold. The students can choose to cast in Aqua Resin, soap, or chocolate. The molds will last forever and can be used to make multiple castings.
This class will teach students fundamental tips and skills on how to sculpt facial features in three dimensions. This will help improve further sculpture endeavors and, if they are painters, will teach them how to see form better in three dimensions. Furthermore this workshop will teach students how to make simple molds and cast for other small projects they want to create on their own in the future.
