This masterclass workshop is a unique opportunity for artists to hone and develop their knowledge around the sculptural processes and creative potentials of mould-making with artist Siobhán McGibbon.
Participants will be introduced to the various stages of mould making, and basic and advanced techniques will be demonstrated and discussed. This includes teaching in the use of silicone rubber and developing small and large-scale moulds, as well as practical advice on materials and where to buy them. The workshop will be tailored around your specific artistic interests, so early registration is essential.
