Casting Nature Together

Capture the texture and delicate nature of leaves, plants, and flowers in this child-friendly workshop. Work with a family member or carer to produce a beautiful cast in Plaster and Cornish stone. Explore clay and plaster, enjoy learning how to take an impression and make a simple mould. This is an exciting process; the cast dries quickly and at the end of the day, you will be able to take home a personalized botanical plaque.

All materials are provided and all abilities welcome. The price is for 1 adult and 1 child to work together.

Facilitator:
Clare Mahoney is a ceramic artist with a fascination for the natural world. This passion has remained a strong theme throughout her work. It always has the innate ability to bring her joy, ground her and make her aware that we are more than a sum of our parts. Clare works with surface; breaking up 2D space, abstracting natural forms and flora to produce images that strive to capture a twisted tendril or fragile leaf. Clare supplies galleries throughout the UK and lives and works in Frome. She is a member of The Devon Guild of Craftsmen

Price:
£38 for 1 adult and 1 child (6yrs+) together.
