Porzellanbecher neu gedacht - werde kreativ in Düsseldorf auf dem Areal Böhler

In the organizer's words:

Porcelain is the diva among ceramic materials - sophisticated, sensitive and beautiful.
Take part in a 2-day workshop and discover the special charm of this material.

On the first day, you will make your own plaster casting mold under my guidance. To do this, we will first develop a small sketch - no previous drawing experience necessary - or you can bring along an idea for a cup, for example as a model or photo.
We will then discuss the procedure and the required materials together. Once everything is clear, we will start sawing.

On the second day, you will finish your mold: we will saw, file and sand - and it will get a bit dusty in the process. Then you will cast two individual porcelain mugs and prepare them for drying.
I will explain step by step how the porcelain mass is mixed, how the cups are demolded and how the plaster mold is then correctly reassembled.

Don't worry: we will carry out all the steps together, no one will be left alone. No previous experience is required, you just need to be confident working with a saw and hammer.

During the workshop, you will make a reusable plaster casting mold (up to approx. 100 casts possible) and use it to make two porcelain mugs.
All the pieces produced are food-safe.

By booking, you secure two consecutive workshop dates.

The 2-day workshop costs € 290 per person
