WORKSHOPS
Mould making and casting workshops provide students with hands on experience creating a mould of your chosen sculpture.
From private one on one lessons to school groups, workshops can be tailored to suit. Materials are provided for you to use as we cover the best methods for creating a mould using the appropriate silicones for your object.
