We will follow this up by exploring colouring through making bowl forms to also understand reinforcement of plaster to enable it be cast hollow.

Really enjoyed it. I am a slow processor, so I found it diffiicult to follow instructions. But this is my disability and no fault of the teacher - he was very good. I have come away with new skills and will cast plaster in the future.

I really enjoyed the course. The tutor was knowledgeable and really helpful. It gave me a really good insight into the processes and materials used in plaster and concrete casting. In addition, the different textures and surfaces that can be achieved. I would really recommend the course and look forward to returning. Great to be around and meet new people with similar interests.
