July 25 & 26About this EventJoin ICA Artist-in-Residence Cat Gunn to learn the fundamentals of designing and constructing a simple plaster mold for slip casting! In this hands-on introductory workshop, you’ll learn to create a functional mold ready for casting through guided demonstrations and step-by-step instruction. Bring your own object to cast, and by the end of the day, you’ll leave with your own handmade mold and the skills to continue exploring slip-cast ceramics independently.Participants are welcome to bring objects to use for their sprig molds. Sprig molds can be made using almost any object or hand-modeled relief that does not have undercuts. (Undercut— a detail in an object where the clay or casting catches and will not pull free without breaking or distorting). Suggested objects include seashells, buttons, acorns, hand-carved patterns, and other objects with a shallow relief.Instructor: Cat GunnDate(s): Saturday & Sunday, July 25-26Time: 10AM–1PMTuition: Non-member $150, General Membership and above $135 (Please use discount code: ICAMEMBERSAVE at checkout)Note that all classes are subject to minimum enrollment.

Using deconstructed altars, archival sites, and domestic spaces as a site of investigation, Gunn stages arrangements of ceramic sculptures, images, plants, found objects, and material experiments. These works interrogate how objects mediate relationships and memories. Working to honor their own Filipinx heritage they have reclaimed through their research, they also evaluate the colonial relationship and imperial impacts of the US occupation of the Philippines from 1898-1946, questioning what we understand to be settled histories. With the use of historical Filipino archives and a modest familial archive, their work offers a portal where divergent timelines can intersect, dreaming of what was, what could have been, and what will be.Gunn received their MFA in Visual Arts from UC San Diego, where they expanded their practice into the realms of ceramics, sculpture, and installation. They received their MA in Professional Studies (Art History Concentration) and BFA in Painting from Towson University. Gunn has had their work included in recent group exhibitions at ICA in San Diego, Vielmetter in Los Angeles, and BEST PRACTICE in San Diego among others. Gunn also co-founded Harvest & Gather, an experimental, nomadic curatorial project run in San Diego with collaborator and friend, mika Castañeda. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/encinitas/2-day-mold-making-ceramics-workshop-with-ica-artist-in-residence-cat-gunn/100001993027762689 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, fine-arts, exhibitions - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 161.9, max: 161.9, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Encinitas - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: 1550 S El Camino Real - **lat**: 33.027386 - **long**: -117.256158 - **full address**: 1550 S El Camino Real, 1550 South El Camino Real, Encinitas, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2-Day Mold-Making Ceramics Workshop with ICA Artist-in-Residence Cat Gunn - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/abb6f86ba96345e3a68530151e059aa5b95da63079ba1801bf3c0454df2327c6-rimg-w1200-h1616-dc908b7c-gmir.jpg?v=1783357538 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2-Day Mold-Making Ceramics Workshop with ICA Artist-in-Residence Cat Gunn being held? - **A:** 2-Day Mold-Making Ceramics Workshop with ICA Artist-in-Residence Cat Gunn takes place on Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 01:00 pm at 1550 S El Camino Real, 1550 South El Camino Real, Encinitas, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2-Day Mold-Making Ceramics Workshop with ICA Artist-in-Residence Cat Gunn? - **A:** 2-Day Mold-Making Ceramics Workshop with ICA Artist-in-Residence Cat Gunn is organized by Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) San Diego. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
