Alberta Potters' Association Workshop, May 1st 2021.
During this on-line demonstration workshop, Trudy will focus on the basic techniques for making and working with cellulose-reinforced clay - more commonly known as Paperclay - and considerations for surfacelform integration as well as strategies that encourage a personalized approach to press moulding and handbuilding.
Trudy will also demonstrate the technique of making simple press moulds using a paper pulp and plaster mixture that she has developed called Paperplasfer. This method is appropriate for anyone wishing to explore the freedom that strong, lightweight moulds provide. No more heavy, bulky moulds! No more plaster disasters!
