Fun Sculpture: Roll up your sleeves and stick your hands into the bucket of plaster! We need to mix
out the air bubbles before we pour it into a milk carton to set. Later we’ll
use knives and nutpicks to carve. Bendable wire can be twisted into figural
shapes, pieces of wood can be glued together and painted. How about
using plaster-coated strips to make a cast of your foot or hand.
There are all kinds of ways to make three-dimensional art objects. We’re
going to explore several in this sometimes-messy hands on workshop.
This workshop is sponsored by GoArt but will be held at the Richmond Memorial Library!
