The purpose of the workshop is to understand and utilise the opportunities for shaping forms inherent in moulding errors. We will learn how to prepare a multi-part plaster moulding form, which allows us to shape the internal and external forms of the final object.
The workshop begins with a presentation of Zsolt József Simon's works, allowing us to observe and understand this special moulding procedure. The second half of the presentation will demonstrate the creation of a specific item from the beginning to the final stages.
Participants begin working on their individual plans or based on one of Zsolt's items, through individual consultation, before everyone starts creating their own plaster form. All participants will create a different form, allowing us to learn from each other's work.
We will go through the entire process from mixing the plaster, sawing, sanding and assembling the plaster form all the way to the porcelain casting.
The workshop language will be English and Hungarian.
Participants must bring the following tools required for the casting and forming the plaster:
A workshop célja, hogy megértsük és alkalmazni tudjuk az öntési hibákban rejlő, formaalakításra alkalmas lehetőségeket. Megtanuljuk, hogyan készítsünk sok darabból álló gipsz öntőformát, amellyel a kész tárgy belső és külső formáit is tudjuk alakítani.
My life is movement.
If somebody watches me during sculpturing he or she says it looks like massage or a dance with clay.
When I teach movement or I do movement, I feel like sculpturing with the space around me.
To press, to release, to form.
My paintings, drawings and sculptures are movement studies without real forms. I didn’t want to catch the forms but the process of forming. Not the fruit or the flower, which are always changing and growing but the growth and change itself, which will form the material once.
The movements in the drawings, sculptures and paintings rather touch the material than really form it. They are coming and suddenly disappearing.
I am trying to reserve the experience of easy and light forming before being stuck in material.
