d.
Discussion will also focus on digital documentation, manipulation and
related applications.
The slide lecture covers photography of:

carving etc.
- Installations, work in-situ, outdoor sculpture

The demonstration portion will cover:
- standard photography of 2-d work

Notice # 2:
Free Plaster Molds - further info
Further information about a previous announcement concerning
"Free Plaster Molds" (see below).
(Snip...)
There are thousands of plaster casting molds stacked on pallets in a gian=
t
shed. They range in size from tiny Xmas ornaments to large vessel shapes=
.
Although we didn't get to the basement section, the property manager h=
as
been informed that there are master molds down there. Also, there are at
least 4 huge oval kiln, with the outside casings beginning to rust, and
there is slip mixing machinery.
Evidently someone closed down a greenware production business, stored the
equipment and then abandoned it. The building and it's contents are now
scheduled for demolition.
All this stuff is free for the taking. The molds could be used for press
molding. However, the logistics are a bit daunting. There is a lot of
deep snow surrounding the building, there is no heat in the building, and
there are tiny aisles running between the skids of equipment. Also, anyo=
ne
entering the building does so at their own risk.
The potential of all those molds is alluring, but one would need strength
(some are very heavy), time and a vehicle able to get through the snow.
If you can manage to drag it away, it's yours!
