About this class
In this ceramic workshop in Cologne, you will learn the basics of plaster mold making and get an introduction to working with plaster. In this way, you can also produce your ceramic tableware without a turntable in the future.
You will learn how to mix plaster correctly, how simple shapes are created and how to use them later for ceramic production. The focus is on a clear understanding of material, form and process.
The workshop is ideal for beginners who are interested in ceramics, product design or craft processes and want to discover a new approach to ceramics.

What you’ll do in the class
The workshop starts with a short introduction to materials, tools and the process of making plaster molds. You will learn what is important when mixing plaster and how to build a simple mold.
You then go straight to the practical implementation and work step by step on your own plaster mold. I will guide you individually and give you specific tips on technology, timing and design.
During the workshop, you will develop a feeling for the entire process — from preparation to the finished form. In the end, you will understand mold making and will be able to continue using the technology independently.

The workshop is ideal for beginners who want to rediscover ceramics, as well as for creative people, designers and anyone who is enthusiastic about materials, form and craft processes.
You don't need any previous knowledge — the course introduces you to plaster mold making step by step.
Also suitable for anyone who is looking for an alternative to a turntable or wants to develop their own ceramic objects and tableware in the long term.
