Join us for this engaging one-day workshop exploring basic casting techniques.

Under the guidance of artist Aaron McPeake, you’ll create your own unique moulds and cast objects using various materials, including plaster and wax.

This workshop is designed particularly for families and children ages 8 to 16. We’re emphasising engaging with materials through senses beyond just sight, and warmly welcome blind and partially blind participants.
