Elastic and flexible, silicone makes it possible to make molds that are resistant and faithful to the original object, making it possible to reproduce complex shapes with “prisons” in a simpler way.

​

At this level, students will delve into the subject of silicone mold making: using silicones on a vertical surface is just one of the challenges we will work on. Basic knowledge of silicone mold making is required.

Taught by Katie Lagast, a Belgian artist who has lived in Lisbon since 2015, the 15-hour workshop will take place on May 19 (from 6 pm to 9 pm) and May 20, 27 (from 10 am to 6 pm).
