M. Pujol Interview- Mass Production

  On Monday I had an informal interview with Michelle Pujol and got her views on my research sub-questions.

"Do you use casting or any mass production methods?"

Michelles's response

Michelle doesn't cast as she prefers making up each piece individually. She did explain that if she did have the facilities to cast she would cast elements that she could manipulate after casting to achieve her desired outcome. Therefore reducing the manufacturing time of her pieces. She feels that casting whole pieces diminish the personality of the piece.

My Response

I have the facilities to utilize lost wax casting so it is a technique I find myself using frequently. I agree with Michelle about casting elements instead of whole pieces. The difference is I manipulate the elements both while they are in wax and after they have been cast.
