Workshop Highlights

  1. Introduction to Hand Casting: Begin with an overview of the hand casting process, including the materials and techniques involved.
  2. Preparation: Prepare your hands for casting. This includes a gentle cleaning process to ensure the best possible mold.
  3. Molding Process: Create the mold using a skin-safe alginate mixture. You’ll submerge your hand(s) in the mixture to capture every detail.
  4. Casting the Sculpture: Once the mold is set, we’ll fill it with high-quality casting plaster. This step brings your sculpture to life with exquisite detail.
