This workshop is tailored to your skill level and designed to expand your ceramic-making abilities, making it suitable for beginners and those with some prior experience.

Plaster Moulds: Slip casting involves pouring liquid clay into plaster moulds, creating stunning ceramic pieces. During the workshop, you'll learn the intricate art of creating your own one-part mould. You'll also discover how to prepare the mould, mix and pour plaster, and clean and maintain your mould. These skills are essential for successful slip casting and will open up a world of creative possibilities.

Craft Your Clay Cast: Once you have the knowledge and confidence to work with plaster moulds, it's time to create your own clay cast. Using pre-made moulds expertly prepared by Isabelle, you'll have the opportunity to pour your own clay slip casts.
