Plaster has been widely used throughout the fine arts. The material offers multiple plastic possibilities. In sculpture it may be assembled, cut, carved, stamped, patined. It may be used as is, as a final work, molded, or directly sculpted on an armature.
My plaster worshop provides a personalised technical guidance for each chosen project either selected before or the first day of class.
Plaster worshop offers you a large selection of documents ( books and magazines etc..) about sculpture, from all centutries, all over the world to select your project, if you don’t have one in advance.
* Food and lodging are not provided
The workshop offers you to discover all the uses possible of the material, with reference to your personal project.
A short technical resume with the picture of your sculpture will sent to you by email the next following week.
