About this event
Join multi-disciplinary artist Eleanor Rodwell at Ipswich County Library and learn how to use clay and found objects to create your own plaster cast design to take home! This is part of O Projeto Página em Branco which offers high-quality creative workshops for 10-16 year olds during the school holidays.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include lunch, drinks and snacks! Book this workshop on Eequ.
Participants will press found objects (mostly natural like leaves, seedheads, shells, twigs, feathers – but some small manmade ones too) into rolled-out clay. They will then put a plastic ring around their design, seal the outside with more clay, and Eleanor will pour plaster into their mould.
Once set, the clay and ring can be removed, and they will be left with a small plaster impression of their design. Eleanor can include hooks or holes in the process so you can hang it once home.
How to book
Workshops must be booked in advance. You can book online via Eequ. If your booking is made within 72 hours of the workshop, we may not be able to accommodate specific dietary requirements. Please get in touch with the library location for the workshop to discuss options.
