Kiln Casting: Combining Digital and Traditional

Experimentation is the key to broadening how we approach our studio practice. This workshop will foster experimentation by combining traditional kilncasting with Rhino 3D computer modeling software, 3D printing, and 3D scanning, facilitating a hybrid approach to making. Through demonstrations, discussions, and research, students will be encouraged and supported as they develop individual projects using new technology and kilncasting. We will also cover rubber and plaster investment mold making, wax working, and firing/annealing schedules. All levels. Kiln studio.

NOTE: Students in this workshop should bring a laptop computer if they can. If you are enrolled and cannot bring a computer, please contact Nadia Massoud at studio_operations@penland.org.
