Create your own bronze sculpture in a weekend
Join sculptor Damon Price in his studio and make your own bronze sculpture from start to finish in this hands-on 2 day workshop.
Over the weekend Damon will guide you through the entire bronze casting process: from wax modelling, to the thrill of pouring molten bronze, right through to patinating and finishing your final piece.
You'll sculpt a small form in wax, cast it in bronze using traditional techniques, and finish it by hand - no prior experience needed.
