Slip-Cast Workshop with THRESHOLD Artist Jeremy Hatch
The Charles Allis Art Museum has the pleasure of hosting a mold making and slip-casting workshop with "Threshold" artist Jeremy Hatch. His life-size porcelain "Treehouse" has captured imaginations at the Charles Allis Art Museum since the opening of "Threshold" in early November. Its sheer scale, masterful execution and haunting materiality concoct an experience unlike any other in the Allis familys former Parlor Room.
On Friday, February 26th, from 1-5pm, Hatch will demonstrate mold making and casting techniques he uses in his studio. Four hours of the workshop will be dedicated to providing insights into mold making and casting processes, while attendees to participate in a group porcelain casting project.
At 5pm, attendees will enjoy a glass of wine and discuss innovations and discoveries that have taken place.
Specific concepts to be covered include:
Approaches to multiple-part molds, tips on working with plaster, prototyping methods, and how to add elements to your existing molds, as well as materials that can be used.
Casting porcelain slip, timing your castings, releasing a mold, and working with newly cast porcelain.
Jeremy Hatch will be providing lock molds from "Matter of Time (affection, affliction)" for the class to practice porcelain casting with. Attendees will have time to cast several locks over the afternoon, and can either add them to a porcelain chain link fence, or take them home.
This four-hour workshop is $15 for students, $20 Museum Members, and $25 general admission. Space is limited, so please purchase tickets in advance through Brown Paper Tickets at the following web address: http://slipcast.bpt.me/
