This full day workshop is a fun introduction to plaster master mould making in the Weta Workshop Room at the Franklin Art Centre, Pukekohe (50 mins from Central Auckland).
You will learn how to make a reusable 2 part plaster mould you can use to replicate objects. We will be making our moulds from fruit and vegetables.
In the workshop Lisa @lisabatestudio will cover different mould making techniques that can be used for press moulding clay, slip casting, or casting wax for glass making.
Take your mould home at the end of the workshop to use in your own studio, or come back to a follow up workshop and learn how to use your moulds for press moulding clay.
