1.5 Day Plasterwork Workshop (open design)

In this introductory workshop set across one half day followed by one full day at a later date, you will learn the basic skills & techniques needed to create sculptural plasterwork artworks. In the first half-day session you will design your own artwork and be taught to apply the plaster. The plaster needs around 2 weeks to dry before it's ready to be carved, so the second session should be scheduled to allow for this. 

During the second session, which lasts a full day (generally 10am-5pm), you will carve your artwork. Over the course of the day India will be on hand to guide you as you carve, sand, detail & refine your piece, offering tips & tricks to get it looking just right. In the final hours of the day you will be able to paint your creation; Whether you prefer our classic all-white style, or prefer a bolder choice such as a metallic finish, a bright shade, or a gentle wash of colour, you will be free to browse the selection of paints and experiment under India’s guidance until you find your ideal finish.
