Mold Making Made Easy
In this fun hands-on workshop, award-winning artist Nancy Blair will demonstrate the art of creating reusable molds from non-toxic silicone without the fuss of plaster. Students will make open-faced, press molds from everyday objects they bring from home transforming their items into detailed clay positives that can be attached to vessels, sculptures, or other ceramic forms. This workshop emphasizes accessibility, creativity, and adaptability, replicating textures and shapes anywhere. Whether you’re a seasoned ceramicist or a curious beginner, this workshop makes mold-making approachable, expressive, and fun. Come ready to press, play, and create! Bring 5-7 small objects with raised or carved detail and a flat back—buttons, charms, keys, cameos, coins, wax seal stamps, rubber stamps, textured tiles, small decorative metal or wooden hardware, shells, or leaves with raised veins. What NOT to bring: anything porous or crumbly, delicate or thin, shapes with deep overhangs, round objects, or objects without a stable flat back.
Pre-Registration is required.
