Upcoming JKM-38-25 Sculpting Faces and Making Press Molds with Jane Kelsey-Mapel

Sculpting Faces and Making Press Molds with Jane Kelsey-Mapel

In this class, students will first learn how to sculpt human and animal faces to be used for making press molds. Instruction will be given on facial proportion, structure and modeling the features. The next step in the process will be making one piece plaster molds from the faces. The finished molds can then be used in fun and inventive ways. The molded faces can be incorporated into sculpture and pottery forms, used to create multiples or manipulated into unique characters.
