Dive into the fascinating world of sculpture and molding techniques and create your own small three-dimensional artwork from start to finish. You begin by sculpting a playful design in clay, experimenting with form, volume, and texture. Next, you learn how to build a flexible gelatin mold around your model using simple, non-toxic materials. Once the mold is ready, you cast your shape in a suitable casting material and discover the exciting moment of demolding.

You work with accessible household materials and professional basic tools, allowing you to apply the technique at home later on. In a small group, there is room for personal guidance and creativity. At the end of the workshop, you go home with a self-made casting and the knowledge to continue experimenting independently.
