Moulding, Casting and Digital Forming for Ceramics

This course introduces moulding, casting and model making as a means of developing and producing three-dimensional forms in clay. Students will be encouraged to explore ideas in relation to the articulation, replication and transformation of objects. The course spans a range of applications from moulding and casting associated with multiples and series (studio & industrial production) to casting one-off objects for sculptural outcomes. The impact of digital technologies on the manner in which ceramic artists and designers understand, develop, produce and replicate objects is examined.
