SUMMARY:Lifecasting: Molding the Head and Face!
DESCRIPTION:Learn the fascinating possibilities of life casting just i
 n time for Halloween! In this two-part workshop, students will learn e
 xciting process of making molds from a live subject. Two different lif
 ecasting techniques will be covered: a reusable full head and neck mol
 d using silicone rubber, as well as a single-use face mold using algin
 ate rubber. Both methods will cover the application of plaster bandage
 s to create support shells, and students will create a single plaster 
 cast of their own faces to keep.\n\nSession One (Saturday, October 1st
 )\nDuring this professional demonstration, students will see the proce
 ss of molding the human head from start to finish. Using a live model,
  the instructor will cover preparation, mixing and application of skin
 -safe silicone to create a highly accurate mold of the model's head an
 d neck, followed by the proper application of a rigid support shell of
  plaster bandages. Moldmaking concepts, best practices, and safety wil
 l be covered, as well as common pitfalls to avoid when casting from li
 fe. Once the mold is removed from the model, students will learn profe
 ssional patching and finishing techniques to ensure a professional res
 ult and set themselves up for success when casting from their own mold
 s. Time permitting, discussion will follow and students will have a ch
 ance to examine the completed mold and ask questions about their own p
 roject ideas.\n\nSession Two (Saturday, October 8th)\nTo begin, the f
 ully-cured life mold from Session One will be used to make a cast in r
 esin and foam. Materials concepts including choosing a resin, rotation
 al casting by hand, and using foam to backfill a cast will be covered 
 during this demonstration. Students will then pair up to utilize the p
 revious week's techniques, taking turns to create single-use molds of 
 their own faces using alginate rubber in a fun and easy partner activi
 ty. They will learn to mix and pour plaster to make a permanent face c
 ast from their biodegradable alginate molds which will be theirs to ke
 ep and take home after the class. Once dry, these casts can be painted
 , used to make custom prosthetics, or molded with a reusable rubber to
  make duplicates...the possibilities are endless!\n\nNo experience nec
 essary. Participants will finish class with a plaster cast of their ow
 n face!\n\nInstructor: Julia Murphy\nTickets: $90\nCreative Arts Works
