Casting Possibilities: Generative Mold and Form Making
Hae Won Sohn
Tuition $1,795
Code C0911-26
This workshop explores reverse thinking between mold and cast, treating the mold as an evolving work of art itself. Beginning with plaster prototyping, mold-making, and slip-casting, students discover plaster's versatility as both medium and tool. Not a traditional mold-making workshop, the course encourages students to move beyond convention, treating mold-making not only as a method for producing identical multiples but also as a generative process. By engaging the interplay between form and its inverse, the workshop expands the scope of slip-casting, revealing mold-making's potential for invention and new formal possibilities.
