Sand Casting & Plaster Relief
This introductory workshop teaches the basics of sand casting using wet sand or silt to create molds. On the first day, you'll learn how to design and shape your mold, then pour plaster to create a reverse plaster relief. The second day focuses on experimentation, allowing you to refine your skills and explore creative possibilities. By the end, you’ll have made two plaster reliefs, gaining a solid understanding of the plaster casting process.
