The course will be held at the Fulbeck Craft Centre, Manor Stables, Lincoln Road, Fulbeck, Grantham, NG32 3JN.

During the workshop you will learn how to prepare the clay for casting. Select the correct seasonal flora and how to arrange and create a unique design. Techniques for pressing different flowers. Removal of the flora. Mixing and pouring plaster. You will also learn how to sand and finish your cast at home. You will leave the workshop with your own unique cast panel (20cm square) to be proudly displayed in your home.

We will break for a lovely lunch of sandwiches and cake in the onsite cafe. Please let me know if you have any dietary requirements.

A variety of seasonal plants and flowers will be supplied, you are more than welcome to bring your own if you wish to incorporate something special from your own garden.
