plaster workshop redux

Jonathan Kaplan on mon 10 mar 97

I am putting together a workshop for this summer in the high country here
in Steamboat Springs entitled "Everything You May Want to Learn About
Plaster" or "The Skinny on Plaster.....From Model to Mold" or whatever.

I will cover in a short but intensive workshop: plaster, proper use and
misuse, how the material works...gypsum cements....rubber molding
compounds....separators and parting compounds, the parting
line...visualizing the object as a combination of parts.....mold making for
casting and jiggering....simple 2 part molds....multiple part
molds....turning plaster....slip casting for the potter....lots of stuff
here to cover and so little time

If you are interested, please post me personally and I'll send you some
information. If you inquired earlier this year, please re-post me as I may
have deleted your post.

Thanks.

Jonathan
