This three-credit elective course focuses on contemporary topics in Industrial Design. Students will undertake immersive educational experiences that expand their skills and understanding of the discipline. Previous projects have included cross-cultural design, iterative prototyping, patterning and hacking of textile products, the design of smart objects, and critical making.
Topic: Ceramic Design + Moldmaking
Mold-making and slip-casting facilitate the exploration of reproduction and seriality. This class introduces a variety of materials (plaster, clay, rubber, etc.), tools and processes in order to develop an understanding of the potential of molds in artistic expression. One-part and multi-parts molds are realized and used to create original works. At the conceptual, formal and esthetic levels, issues of series, spatial reversibility, appropriation, mirror image, convex/concave alternates are presented and explored. Clay formulation and slip-casting complement the course. Studio work, demonstrations, research and presentations, discussions and critiques form an integral part of this class.
