29 August - 2 September, 2023
course fee: 350,000 huf.
On the course you will learn the process of design, creating the original model from plaster and making the moulds ready for slip casting or press moulding.
You will be introduced to Gabi’s design and making techniques and the different types of moulds you can create using the plaster wheel - single piece, two part, multiple parts etc.
She will demonstrate ways of mixing plaster, designing in 3D and carving your original models from plaster. Techniques for multi part mould-making and crack moulds will be demonstrated and you will construct your moulds using these techniques.
The workshop language will be English and Hungarian.
A tanfolyamon megtanulod a tervezés folyamatát, az eredeti gipszmodell- és az öntéshez vagy préseléshez használt öntőformák elkészítését.
Megismerkedhetsz Gabi tervezési és alkotói technikáival, valamint a gipszkorongon készíthető különböző típusú (egyrészes, kétrészes, többrészes) öntőformákkal.
Gabi bemutatja a gipsz keverésének módjait, a 3D-s tervezést, az eredeti modellek gipszből való kifaragását, a többrészes- és a repesztett formakészítési technikákat..
Please come prepared with ideas and sketches for what you plan to make during the course. Gabi will then advise on the most appropriate ways to achieve your idea. You can also bring the actual object if you have already made it.
Gabi does not want to give you a uniform theme for your moulds. With everyone working on their own ideas then you will all learn from each other as well. It is likely that everyone on the course will have different experience of plaster working. You all know your own knowledge and speed at which you work. Above all be flexible with your plans and open to suggestions. Also be realistic of what is achievable in the time you have. So bring your drawings and sketches and Gabi will guide you through the process.

Kérjük, hogy a tanfolyamra konkrét ötletekkel és vázlatokkal érkezz. Gabi tanácsot ad és segít az elképzelés megvalósításában. Ha már van kész modelled, azt is elhozhatod.
A tanfolyamon nem lesz egységes témaválasztás, mindenki a saját ötletén dolgozik, így mindannyian tanulhattok egymástól is. Mindenkinek más-más tapasztalata lesz a gipsz megmunkálásában, eltérő lesz a szakmai tudásotok és a munkátok sebessége. Legyetek rugalmasak a terveiteket illetően és mérjétek fel, mi az, ami a rendelkezésre álló idő alatt megvalósítható. A rajzok és vázlatok alapján Gabi végigkísér benneteket a teljes alkotási folyamaton.
