Mold-made objects can seem almost magical. Depending on your desired result, molds can produce objects that conceal or emulate the ‘evidence of the hand,’ but in either case the technique often mystifies viewers. Molds can be used to make one-off sculptures of a chosen medium, or they can be used again and again to create a series of multiples.
Join Rachel K. Garceau for “Inside Out & Upside Down,” a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to make plaster molds with a focus on using them for slip-casting ceramics, with a discussion of how to use them with other materials, such as plaster and paper pulp.
Every participant will complete at least one working mold which they can use when they return home. Students will leave with the skills to continue to make molds, as well as the information that they need to use their molds. The workshop will include an exploration of ways to remain mindful of the body in your studio practice, and how this consciousness can impact your focus and ability to solve problems.
Rachel K. Garceau is a studio artist living and working in the Atlanta, GA area, and has been recognized as a 2015 Emerging Artist by the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and one of 2017’s Women to Watch by the Georgia Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. She utilizes slip-cast porcelain forms to construct site-responsive installations. Her work is often born from a curiosity about an object or a place and a desire to come to a deeper understanding of it. Rachel received a BA in Fine Arts from Franklin Pierce College in 2003 and went on to pursue her education through studio assistantships, workshops, and residencies. In 2013, Rachel completed the two-year Core Fellowship at Penland School of Crafts (NC). She has received residencies at Vendsyssel Kuntsmuseum (DK), Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (TN), Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (ME) and the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences (GA). Her work has been shown at GreenHill Center for NC Art (NC), Lillstreet Gallery (IL), and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (GA), and has been published in Studio Potter, Ceramics Monthly, and NCECA Journal, and also appears in CAST: Art and Objects Made Using Humanity’s Most Transformational Process.
The images above are examples of Rachel’s mold-made sculptures.
