Event Description: During this three‐day workshop, Andrew will demonstrate his intuitive yet practical exploration of how to work with molds beyond the repetition of forms.

He will show his method of designing forms using paper cut outs and templates, how to mix plaster correctly, various ways to approach decorating forms, and give a slide lecture that includes source material, inspirations for his work, and a pictorial sequence of his design process.

His book, The Essential Guide to Mold Making and Slip Casting, has become the standard text on the subject.
