Verge Center for the Arts

Come make tiles of your own design! In this two-part class, you’ll receive an introduction to clay relief sculpture/design and plaster mold-making by creating an open-faced one-part plaster press mold. In the first class, you will design and create your own clay relief while learning sculptural methods used to create a 6” x 6” tile. Learn the basics of plaster mixing, setting up and casting a one-part plaster mold using your original clay tile. In the second class you’ll use the plaster mold made in the first class to stamp your design into clay and create a series of at least four tiles. Participants will leave with a plaster mold of their tile design and at least four pressed tiles from the workshop. No experience necessary.

WHEN: Sundays, June 23 & 30 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM (with a 30 min. lunch break - bringing your own lunch is recommended)

WHERE: Verge Center for the Arts
