Life Casting Workshop with Peny Wallace

Full Weekend Workshop

June 26th | 12 - 5pm

June 27th | 12 - 3pm

Limited to six participants. Participants will work with class partners and learn the basics of Lifecasting, casting either two hands in a pose or a hand and a face in a pose. The process uses alginate as the impression medium. When the alginate is ‘set’ the model will be released and the casting medium will be mixed and poured into a ‘mother mold’ casting. The casting will semi-harden overnight and the second day the ‘mother mold’ will be taken off and ‘edited’ to complete the final casting. Participants will take home the Lifecasting and finish when completely dry. A ‘finishing’ materials and instruction list will be handed out as well as tools to take home for finishing.

Columbia Center for the Arts will also be offering this workshop on July 10th and 11th. If you are interested in attending that class, you can visit their registration page here: https://www.columbiaarts.org/classes/
