Have you ever wondered how bronze sculptures are made? Or how jewellers make solid metal pieces? The chances are they were made by casting from a mold.
Artist Sarah Reynolds will teach you how to make plaster molds of simple shapes so you can cast them in different materials.

Whether you are have an existing creative practice or are a total novice, this course is suitable for those interested in learning techniques used by sculptors past and present.
