This hands-on course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of modelling and simple plaster casting. The focus is on understanding the materials and following well-structured working processes.
From the Clay Model to the Plaster Cast
At the beginning of the course, participants explore the fundamental principles of sculptural modelling through the sense of touch.
Building on these experiences, they develop larger sculptural pieces.
Using the forms created, the basic steps of plaster casting according to the "lost mould" technique are practised, accompanied by practical tips.
The aim is to provide participants with a sensitivity to materials, an understanding of form, and confidence in applying structured working methods to their own projects.
The course language is German, but the tutors also speaks Italian and English.
