Josh Kochis

Session 2: June 28-August 16 

In this class taught by Pewabic Slip Casting Specialist/Tile Pressing Technician, Josh Kochis, students will use the basic principles of mold-making for tile as a starting point for working with liquid clay. Multiple applications of the casting process will be covered, including the production of simple vessels, handles, and ornamentation. Each student will receive the practical experience necessary to conceptualize ideas, create models, fabricate working molds, and produce multiples of their designs.
