About this activity

In this session we’ll work with plaster in its many states, exploring surface, mark-making and texture.

Calling all visitors from 2025 and new makers! We are continuing to work on the large collaborative plaster sculptures that we began making at the end of the 2025 season, inspired by Moore and his art-making process.
