Join botanical casting artist and expert Caroline Wright for the day at Brantwood. Spend the morning learning how to make botanical plaster casts with a selection of flowers and foliage provided by Caroline, some of which she will have collected from the gardens at Brantwood. You will preserve their beauty, structures and delicate patterning in plaster casts to enjoy forever. Each person will take home a 7" square and a 7" round cast. All materials and aprons provided. (Although aprons are provided, working with clay and plaster can be messy so it's best to wear something that might get dirty).
The day includes refreshments and lunch in Brantwood's Terrace Café.

10.30am – demonstration and casting
1pm – lunch (while the casts dry)
