Discover the art of botanical relief casting using seasonal flora and foliage to create your own handcrafted plaque. Guided step by step.

The workshop begins with a step-by-step demonstration, where you’ll learn how to prepare and roll clay to create a smooth base for your relief design.

You’ll then be guided through selecting and arranging flora, learning how to press and roll them into the clay to best capture their delicate textures, shapes, and fine detail.

Once your composition is complete, you’ll learn how to prepare plaster for casting.

While the plaster cures (around 30 minutes), we’ll take a peek into the winter historical archives with homemade cake and coffee.

The final stage is the reveal — carefully peeling away the clay to uncover your botanical relief and see how your chosen flora, textures, and forms have been captured in plaster, forming a unique piece of art to take home.

Suitable for all levels of experience including beginners.
