Botanical Casting Workshops
£38.00
Join me for my first Botanical Casting Workshops
Advertised at a heavily discounted price as I have never taught these before.
Your workshop begins with a relaxed, step-by-step demonstration where you'll learn how to prepare and roll the clay to create the perfect base for your botanical design.
You'll then choose from a beautiful selection of seasonal flowers and foliage, or you're very welcome to bring a few cuttings from your own garden to make your piece even more personal. I'll guide you through arranging your botanicals before showing you how to gently press and roll them into the clay to capture every delicate petal, leaf vein and natural texture.
Once you're happy with your design, you'll learn how to make the mould before mixing and pouring plaster to create your finished cast. I'll explain each stage along the way, sharing plenty of tips to help you achieve the best possible result.
While your plaster sets (around 45 minutes), we'll enjoy refreshments and chat about different ways to finish and display your botanical casting at home.
The most exciting part comes at the end, when you carefully peel away the clay to reveal your finished botanical relief. Every flower leaves its own unique imprint, creating a beautiful piece of nature captured in plaster for you to take home and treasure.
