Join us for a free workshop with artist Taylor Pilote and learn how to make molds with plaster and high-detail capturing alginate. Pilote will walk participants through the molding process and discuss his personal molding and sculpting techniques often beginning with plaster and alginate and ending with bronze and fiberglass. After receiving his MFA from the University of South Florida Pilote has worked and exhibited throughout the U.S., Canada and Paris. Employing the visual language of automotive exteriors he attempts to conjure a variety of reactions to his materials and subject matter simultaneously as difficult or farcical issues are presented in a slick, seductive manner.
