Printing Molds for Slip Casting Soda-Fired Porcelain: an
SKILL LEVEL: Open to all

“modern” with the tradition of slip casting in
this exciting new class focused on making
plaster molds via 3-D printers. Working with
our stock files and your basic designs built in
Rhino patterns, the molds to make the molds,
are designed and printed digitally. The focus of
this workshop is the mold, but Paul covers how
to manipulate castings and surface designs as
well as the power of the narrative in his collage
style of work.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Rhino design software,
plaster molds made directly from the MakerBot
patterns, slip clay, drawing and painting on
bisqueware forms.
ACTIVITIES: Basic design in Rhino software,
making plaster molds from plastic patterns,

Matt Long
SKILL LEVEL: Open to all
CONCEPT: In this class, we concentrate on
making well-crafted, thoughtful pottery with
emphasis on form, gesture and technique.
Throwing demonstrations explore the gestural
qualities of porcelain through functional pottery. We make work that is thrown and immediately altered off the wheel and examine line
and gesture. We work with thick slip as a way
to express yet another kind of line that highlights the material in a different way. All work
is fired in the soda kiln.
Anderson Ranch thanks its educational
partners for supporting our
Ceramics program with
their products and services.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We cover many techniques of throwing and altering pottery.
Emphasis is on the application of slip: timing,
thickness, the do’s and don’ts. We fire the
soda kilns to finish the work, all at cone 10.
ACTIVITIES: Lectures on slip and clay plus an indepth discussion of firing and the use of soda.
We make pots daily with demonstrations in
the morning and after lunch. Demonstrations
for finishing include glazing, kiln loading and
firing. Individual attention and discussions are
ongoing throughout the entire session.
FACULTY: Matt Long received his M.F.A. from
Ohio University. He is an associate professor
of art and the graduate coordinator at the University of Mississippi in Oxford.
