In this course you will learn how to make one piece plaster moulds for porcelain slip. You will begin by creating a personalized shape. Then we will go though the steps of constructing the mould and preparing the plaster to pour over your unique shape. You will discover the possibilities of the slip casting technique to be able to produce series of porcelain work easily and efficiently. Exploring atypical processes of slip casting via the “Spongeware” technique will also be part of this workshop that encourages personal development and experimentation.
The goal of this workshop is to give the participants the technical knowledge and practical experience to confidently make one-piece moulds and slip cast porcelain.

Ceramic maze: the glazes
i rivestimenti, l’applicazione facile, la decorazione e la cottura della ceramica
Il corso si prefigge di informare sui modi e le tecniche che sono alla base del processo ceramico per quanto riguarda la smaltatura e la decorazione a bassa temperatura.
Durante il corso saranno finite esperienze sui vari metodi di smaltatura ponendo particolare attenzione alla smaltatura a pennello con l’ausilio di particolari veicoli che ne consentono la migliore applicazione. Verranno presentate le cause alla base dei principali effetti ottenibili con i rivestimenti che saranno realizzate su supporti in argilla, già cotti, forniti dall’organizzazione: terracotta, terraglia tenera, terracotta di argilla da gres e semirefrattaria da Raku.
Sarà dato spazio anche al rapporto fondamentale degli smalti con i supporti e la loro preventiva miglior cottura a biscotto. Ed infine saranno affrontati anche i difetti che si riscontrano nella smaltatura e a questo proposito è possibile portare eventuali lavori personali finiti sulle cui problematiche sarà possibile svolgere una interessante lezione.
PROGRAMMA: esercizi personali di smaltatura: a pennello, ad aspersione, ad immersione – esercizi di decorazione con i colori sottovernice e i colori soprasmalto – smalti a rilievo – dimostrazione di smaltatura a spruzzo e a secco – Cottura delle prove – a domanda lezioni sulla chimica e tecnologia degli smalti.
