Plaster making course- Villány- Hungary
On this course you can learn the plaster
making techniques, which can be sucessfully adapted later to your own work.
During the 5 and a half days you can get directions to desing and implement
your own ideas. We discuss the plan and how to make a perfect plaster model and
plaster mould. Because the plaster will not dry during the course we discuss
the exact use of it and how to mold and model a plaster form.
The place of the course is a famous wine
region of Hungary, where working with grapes are originated in the celtic
times. You can get to know the award winning wines of Polgár Winery and the
fantastic Hungarian dishes of the Polgár Pansion.
The region is also famous of its thermal
waters and baths and the nearest city, Pécs can be a good cultural excursion.
In 2010 the city was the cultural capital of Europe.
Making functional object plaster model and
plaster mould:
You can learn how to make your own plaster
mould, step by step, from desing to construction of the plaster model. At the
end of the course through a display you will get guidance on the molding
techniques, which can be used later individually.
Making sculptural object (figure or
abstact) plaster model and plaster mould:
The duration of the course do not give the
opportunity to make a great sized sculpture, therefore to this course we expect
applicants who make their own bigger sized sculptures (maximum 1 meter). If
there are special needs (irregular material, size or complexity of the
sculpture) we recommend that you contact us prior to the course, to help the
sucessful implementation.

Plans for next year
I would like to extand the subjects for the
summer courses. If someone would like to develop their technical and artistic
ability in the field of porcelain and ceramics can apply to one of the
following courses. I would like to survey which course would you choose next
year?
Would you participate on a two week course
on any of the following subjects:
a,- Making plaster model and mould. Casting, glazing and buring of the
objects. Through making functional objects you can get to know this complex
technical process.
b,- Making plaster model and mould. Pressing, glazing and burning of the
objects. During the course you can get to know the making of individual and small series sculptures.
c,- Making sculpture form with hand. This is an ancient technique which
requires a lot of experience. Hollow stacking, building and sticking from flat,
combining the previous two techniques and exploring other options.
Would you participate in other one week
courses in different subjects? With the leadership of excellent, international artists.
a,- Raku firing
b,- Glaze making at home
c,- Decoration of ceramic surface
d,- China painting
