In this workshop participants will cast a low relief piece from their own design. They will be shown how to make clay mold impressions with collected materials and tools in the negative which will then be cast as a positive panel. Hand colouring techniques will be shared and the resulting sculpture could be hung or hand coloured. Participants are encouraged to bring non-precious objects they feel could provide interesting impressions to include in their design.

Relief is an archaic architectural, sculptural, pictorial form of molded or carved design that stands out from a surface, to a greater (high relief) or lesser (low relief) extent. Relief formally sits between drawing or painting and sculpture and can be described as art in two and a half dimensions.

This workshop is designed for participants 18 and over.

Participants will need to wear covered shoes and clothing suitable for messy tasks.
