Future date to be announced. Come "get plastered" with Arty in this 4 hour hands-on workshop and find out what plaster materials can do for you! We will be using 6 different plaster types for this class: #1 Molding Plaster, White Hydrocal, Ultracal 30, Hydrocal FGR-95, Drystone Ultimate and our newest addition, Keenes Cement. Every student will go home with a number of castings to do with what they wish plus an instructional handout!
You will learn:
- Benefits of using plaster over other casting materials
- The differences and best uses for different plaster and gypsum cement types
- How to select and use the right plaster for your application
- How to properly pigment, mix and pour plaster into rubber molds (we'll be using architectural, museum exhibit, and gift quality molds)
