HANDBUILDING WITH MOLDS & EXTRUDERS

Workshop Outline:

In this course, students will design and create a ceramic platter using molds they have created using Styrofoam. Asymmetric, deep, and long forms will be encouraged. These molds will be carved and sanded, then loaded with a textured slab and left to harden. Once leather hard, extruded rims, feet and handles will be added to the slabs. Extruder-die making and design will be explored in depth. This process is fraught with unexpected technical problems such as drying, glazing, and firing and all secrets will be revealed.

VINCENT MASSEY

Vincent Massey, a fourth generation artist, discovered his passion and flair for pottery at the early age of 15. He studied at the renowned West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham, England where he specialized in traditional English and Japanese methods of stoneware, including firing techniques of wood, salt and raku. He mixes and ages his own clay and experiments with his own personal glaze recipes to achieve his one-of-a-kind, spontaneous pots. His work is a mixture of handbuilt vessels with extruded parts and wheel thrown and altered functional art. Vincent lives and works in Whistler, BC.
