Kitchen Sink Casting

August 16-21, 2026

Provincetown, MA

In this hands-on studio course, students will explore innovative casting techniques for sculpture-making using accessible, non-toxic materials commonly found in household pantries such as sugar and gelatin. We will explore the idea of everyday items such as discarded plastic and silicone ice trays repurposed as ready-made molds. Emphasizing sustainability and creativity, students will learn simple mold making techniques to cast form and texture in various mediums. The workshop will emphasize experimentation and discovery, offering artists an opportunity to expand their material vocabulary and develop new processes to integrate into their studio practice. While finished pieces may be created, the primary focus will be on conducting material tests to produce a varied collection of samples.
