Clay, Plaster, Place – Casting with James Rigler

About

Learn plaster and clay techniques to develop site-responsive ceramics. Using the Whisky Bond site as our inspiration and starting point, over 3 sessions this course will introduce you to basic plaster techniques (sledging, casting, mould-making) to generate press-mounded and hand-built site-responsive pieces, textured panels, and clay sculptural forms.
