This is a "fully hands on workshop".
You will learn about:

• Painting, Coatings and Patina finishes
• Cold cast bronze/brass
And you will make your own mold, cast the piece and finish it.
The molding kit includes 500 grams of Silicon and 500 grams of Resin.
Any unused materials are yours to take away.
Supplied for use in the workshop :
• Gloves & goggles
• Mixing cups & sticks
• Klean Klay & tools
• Resin pigments
• Paints, brushes & patinas
• Original pieces to be copied will be supplied
Have a piece you want to reproduce? Feel free to bring it along.
If it's practical (given time restraints) we will work with it.
* NB If the piece you bring requires more silicon or resin than the materials supplied, you may need to purchase additional on the day.
A 500gm kit of silicon will make a mold of approx 500 cubic cms
i.e. 8cms x 8cms x 8cms. The resin kit is similar.
You can email pics of your piece to us prior to the class, forewarned is forearmed. Please include something in the image to create a sense of scale or better still, dimensions.
Due to the amount of work to be done and to ensure you get all the assistance you need, these workshops are limited to 4 people.
So PAID BOOKINGS will take preference over unpaid.
FEE: $175
