Dean Allison•Figurative Sculpture in Kiln Casting

This course will introduce students to life-casting materials and processes. We will use silicone rubber to capture an impression of the live figure and transfer that small impression into wax. Using a lost-wax method, students will create a small section of the body/face in glass. This class will cover wax sculpting, moldmaking, glass properties, and annealing. Students should bring a sketchbook and personal sculpting tools. All skill levels are welcome.

The cost includes accommodation in a 4-person room, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
