ONE PART MOLD MAKING — MAKE SPACE | Workshop & Classroom
This crash course into mold-making with Herrick Smith will set students up with the knowledge to start their mold making journey off right! Attendees will sculpt a simple form out of plasticine clay and learn to mix & pour plaster to create a one-part mold. All supplies are provided, and reading material will be emailed to students before class to show up prepared and with realistic expectations.
Next Firing of the St. Augagama!
The next firing of the St. Augagama will be June 6-11 2026.
Loading will take the first 2 days and the firing is projected to take 4 days including pre-heat with an additional day for down-firing.
The unload will be Saturday 6/20/25 at 8am.
During the cooling week we have several activities available including: Kayaking, Fishing, Day-Trips, Historical Tours, and More!
Recipe Origin: This porcelaneous recipe is developed from research I conducted in grad school based on a CoorsTek analysis of the local clay I was harvesting in western Kansas. It’s a cream-firing, highly plastic throwing body, with a small percentage of fine grog added to lend some tooth. The high silica content in the body facilitates ash accumulation and performs exceptionally well in sodium atmospheres.
Purchasing and Pick-up: At $1.10/pound, 50 pounds would be $55.00. We do offer USPS shipping and local pick-up. Click HERE to learn more.
