Plaster Imprint Casting Workshop

Learn the art of plaster imprint casting in this workshop hosted by Lead Artist India Allin. In this 2.5 hour workshop you will create your own decorative plaster tile by making impressions into clay using foraged botanicals, shells, feathers, seaweeds & more. All materials will be supplied but participants are also very welcome to bring their own finds for imprinting with. The process involves arranging foraged items onto a clay slab, applying pressure to make impressions into the clay, then building a mould form to cast the impressions in plaster. The plaster will need approximately 40 minutes to set, after which you will be able to remove & clean your decorative tile ready to take home with you. Within 5-7 days the plaster should be completely dry, at which time the edges can be smoothed with a bit of sandpaper if required, and the tile can either be left as a natural raw plaster finish, or can be painted with acrylic paints.

One 2.5 hour session (including 40 minute break for plaster setting time) to be scheduled when booking.
