Join artist Bruce Reynolds and learn how to cast a low relief plaster piece from your own design. Carve your unique design in the negative which will then be a cast as a positive panel. Hand colouring techniques will be shared and the resulting sculpture can be hung.
Relief is an archaic architectural, sculptural, pictorial form of moulded or carved design that stands out from the surface, to a greater (high relief) or lesser (low relief) extent. Relief formally sits between drawing or painting and a sculpture and can be described as art in two and a half dimensions.This workshop is part of Bruce Reynolds' How Soon is Now? Exhibition.
