Jesmonite Casting
Have you heard of Jesmonite? It is an amazing eco-friendly material that has become the go-to medium for designers and artists alike. An acrylic-modified gypsum composite, it can be used as an alternative to fibreglass and even used as a lightweight substitute to cast concrete.
In this workshop you will learn how to mix the component parts and use silicone moulds to cast a set of three tea light holders and two coasters. We will show you a variety of different techniques to produce your own unique items with a smooth, tactile finish.
All materials are included.
