About this Event
The course will cover rolling out the clay, designing and arranging the flowers creating your own layout for the casting process. The fresh flowers and foliage are pressed into wet clay, before plaster is poured in and given time to set. When the mould is removed, every detail is captured. After carefully hand finishing, they can be painted or left natural. (you will leave them in a natural state due to them needing to dry)
We create 2 plaques one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Plaques are approx. 7.5x5.5inches. Option to add hanging hooks or leave blank creating beautiful botanical pieces of art for your home.
There will be flowers and foliage for you to choose from however I do ask you bring a very small bunch of fresh flowers/herbs/leaves/wildflowers/grasses from your garden as it is always lovely to make a cast specific to your garden.
Please bring an apron and wear clothes that you don't mind getting messy. If you wear glasses please remember these.
The workshop will run from 10.30 to approx. 3.30pm.
There will be a 45 min lunch break and morning and afternoon breaks.
The price of the workshop includes all materials apart from the small bunch of fresh seasonal flowers foliage I ask you to bring with you. Please see photos for foliage flower inspiration.
