Learn how to create and cast unique molds using silicone and alginate in this two day intensive. Each class participant will work with the instructor to identify the appropriate materials and techniques for their own project, and will work over the course of two days to realize that vision.

This class serves as an introduction to casting and an initiative to radically reimagine human embodiment. It will include a brief survey of ‘prosthetics’ within creative, medical, and engineering fields, life casting demonstrations and recommended readings. While student projects may fall outside this frame, all are invited to duplicate, substitute and fabricate new landscapes for the body and rethink ways in which our bodies can exist beyond the limits of our skin.

Price: $175

Audience: Open to all adults regardless of sculpture experience.

Materials: Class participants will have access to a limited supply of materials and will work with the instructor to identify the appropriate additional materials for their individual project.
