Ceramics: Botanical Mould Making & Handbuilding

Learn to incorporate plaster mould-making into your ceramics practice by creating reusable botanical stamps to decorate clay surfaces. Guided by inspiration from the natural world, you’ll explore organic materials and forms to produce detailed moulds that can be used to add design and texture to clay.

As part of this workshop, you’ll:

– Create a selection of unique plaster moulds
– Learn how to use them to imprint textures and patterns into clay
– Make and decorate a handbuilt vase, bowl, or plate using your new tools

This workshop is perfect for curious beginners and experienced makers alike who are looking to expand their decorative techniques and take inspiration directly from the environment around them.
