This workshop will explore the process of creating a clay/resin

cast relief (hands). Kyle will cover ways to combine clay and
resin to create cast positives that do not rely on any traditional
firing methods; it is chemically hardened and re-workable. The
resulting forms can be cut, drilled, sanded, etc., to achieve
different textures. He will demonstrate a variety of surface
treatments including oils, acrylics, stains, and techniques of
highlighting, shadowing, and weathering techniques.
Provided: Plaster Casting Tools (brushes, buckets, shellac, Vaseline,
hammers, chisels, paint, sandpaper, clay, drop clothes, and clean up
tools)
Provided: Safety Equipment (rubber gloves, dust masks/respirators,
