Product description
<p>Create elegant botanical plaster reliefs and discover the ancient sculptural technique of plaster casting. Also known as ‘bas-relief’ or ‘low relief,’ plaster casting has been used since antiquity in many forms, for both artistic and academic endeavors. In this workshop, Liz shares how to work with modeling clay, create a mold, and use Plaster of Paris to make delicate décor for the home. Our carefully curated kit contains everything needed to create 8-10 botanical plaster casts, including safety goggles, disposable gloves, and a protective sheet. An acrylic clay roller creates a smooth modeling clay surface while tweezers and a detail paint brush help to remove any leftover bits of florals or dried clay. Liz shares how to design your botanical arrangements, condition, and roll out the clay, create a mold using card stock and binder clips, and safely work with Plaster of Paris. Along the way, you learn tips for successful prints, troubleshooting, the ideal Plaster of Paris formula, unmolding, and finishing your casts.</p><p><strong>This workshop includes:</strong></p><ul><li>Tools & materials to create a dozen medium-sized botanical plaster casts</li><li>A detailed digital workshop led by Liz Wagner</li><li>PDF download with written instructions to complement the video tutorial</li></ul><p><strong>The tools & materials included in our plaster casting kit:</strong></p><ul><li>White modeling clay</li><li>Plaster of Paris</li><li>One round detail paint brush</li><li>Two sheets sandpaper, 120 grit</li><li>Acrylic clay roller</li><li>Four pairs of disposable gloves</li><li>Protective sheet</li><li>Safely goggles</li><li>Stainless steel craft tweezers</li><li>Four binder clips</li><li>Three sheets heavyweight cardstock</li></ul><p>
