COURSES
Next course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park from 22th to 26th August 2012
www.ysp.co.uk
The foundry runs a range of practical hands on courses, which provide the opportunity to learn about the process and cast pieces of your own work.
The courses are run in collaboration with other organizations, such as Yorkshire Sculpture Park and at our own studio in Liverpool. Our “Introduction to Bronze Casting’’ course is designed to give an insight into the ceramic shell process and the working of the art foundry. Limited to ten places, the course runs over five consecutive days. Each student models in wax, and casts in bronze two sculptures, finishing with the patination.
Working with universities, our course gives students the chance to make and cast, sometimes as part of a wider project.
These courses can be run in the university and involve a visit to the foundry to see the bronze being poured. We can bring our portable foundry to the college.
We also run casting events for the general public at sculpture parks and for organizations like Eden Project.
Courses, events and workshops can be organize to coincide with public art projects in collaboration with artists.
Working with sculptor Carol Peace we run a similar course at the Bristol Drawing School in July 2010.
We set up a project with Telford College of Art and Technology, giving thirteen students the chance to each make a bronze. All the pieces formed component parts of a wall relief to be displayed in the college.
