SCULPTURE CLASSES AT THE
BREWERY ART LOFTS
Los Angeles



MOLD MAKING FOR SCULPTURE

Starting with a sculpture or form, we will make a state of the art silicone mold with plaster jackets. Ideal for casting multiple copies in many mediums…lost wax for bronze, plasters, concrete, resins, etc. The basics of mold designs will be covered depending on the individual style needed and on mold efficacy. Half and half molds, paint up molds, blanket molds, and face up molds.



MOLDS FOR CERAMICS (plaster slip cast molds)

Using box style molds in sections of plaster for pouring slip “wet clay” into the molds for replication. The plaster molds absorb the water from the clay, and we have another ceramic object for kiln firing. Bring a sculpture or form you wish to reproduce in ceramics so we can mold it in class.



SCULPTURAL JEWELRY CASTING (centrifugal)

Starting with a small sculpture or organic form, we will cast a pendant for a necklace in bronze with gold, Corinthian bronze. Castings can be made from small sculptural designs or organic elements, such as, tiny pine cones, succulents, tiny pomegranates, fruits, leaves, etc. Anything small under the sun. We will go through mold making (boxed or vulcanized), sprueing, wax injection, investment casting, kiln burn out, oxyacetylene torching, centrifugal casting, gold soldering, metal chasing and polishing.
