An introduction to the world of casting. Sculpt a void with clay to cast a piece in plaster.
Each day we interact with hundreds of products made up of thousands of pieces, each manufactured through processes developed from casting principles.
In this casting 101 workshop, participants will develop the basics of casting, forming a mould and casting in plaster. Through experimentation, participants can cast found objects & sculpt through this fun, hands on process.

The plaster piece will be available to collect 1hr after the end of the workshop.
