몰드(Mold) 성형 기법의 역사와 작가 사례 연구

Abstract

Technique of mass reproduced plaster mold was introduced in Europe. Not only there have been few studies on the types of molds used for mass reproduction but also techniques for ceramics were influenced by molds. Prior to the discovery of plaster of Paris, in the past, humankind used mold made of animal bones or natural objects and later developed on the form of fired clay mold. This study reviews the historical cases of molds and examines the unique aspects of production and characteristics of countries and region. Also, the purpose of the study is to explore how technique of mold has been applied in modern times to various applications and how the concepts of the clay mold have been expanded and transformed by contemporary ceramists. From ancient times, China widely used in mold with metal technique, and as it gradually developed. During the Song Dynasty, the production using the delicate clay mold(Dobum) was performed systematically. This technique of mold also influenced the production of Celadon in Goryeo period and the production of embossed white porcelain in Joseon Dynasty. Furthermore, Arretine ware of the Roman Empire offered examples of sensual and technical features through the mold. Through the mold of techniques in South America, we can see the unique culture created in its own form of stirrup bottle and their lifestyle. The mold has historically transformed the technique of ceramics, and also heavily influenced industrial design today. It is hoped that the use of mold will be limited solely as a method for mass reproduction, but also suggest possibilities for various technique in ceramics and further instigate new discussion in the academic field.
