At this session, you will put into practice: 1. Mixing plaster 2. Setting up/blocking moulds 3. Soaping plaster for plater-plaster casting 4. Cleaning-up/finishing moulds This is a skills-focused workshop, you will be making moulds in groups using patterns and masters prepared by the host. Unfortunately, these won't be able to be taken home with you. If you have projects or objects you would like to make moulds of, you're encouraged to bring these along to discuss how you could approach your project. Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. There are minimum numbers for workshops to run, so if your chosen day isn't quite full enough, I'll get in touch to suggest a new date. This workshop requires a minimum of 3 participants. Workshop dates for the summer of 25-26 will be released in August.
