Glass Casting using Plaster Based Molds with Daniel Clayman




This workshop is for beginners to advanced alike. Daniel will begin by reviewing some basic rules of plaster use, setting students up for making quality molds. Numerous mold recipes, firing schedules, glass choices and most importantly, trouble shooting will be covered. Students can expect to finish this workshop with a sound knowledge of how to make objects using plaster-based molds.

In this 5 day intensive, you will create 2-3 castings, focusing on knowledge rather than specific outcomes.

Daniel Clayman is a glass sculptor. A chance class in 1980 introduced the artist to using glass as a sculptural material. In 1986, he received his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and has maintained a studio in East Providence, RI since then.

His interests in engineering, the behavior of light, and the memory of experience, acts as an impetus for much of his work. In the end, Clayman’s sculpture is a “manifestation of a moment of thought.” Working large and small, he employs technology from the simplest hand tool to the latest three-dimensional modeling and production tools. He is considered to be a Master Caster!!
