Adult Plaster Carving

As part of TCDT’s 2022 fundraising programme, participants were given the opportunity to experience one of the most satisfying carving processes and complete a pattern of their choice. The patterns used for the intro exercises focused on the geometric and biomorphic patterns and techniques of the Islamic lands. Participants practiced relief and piercing carving techniques and received an introduction to plaster casting and mould making.

This workshop was a unique opportunity to experience plaster carving with a practicing sculptor in his studio and at the end of the course, everyone had a least one finished panel to take home with them.
