Margarine Mayhem with Katrin Albrecht
To help prep your work for The Plinth and spark some inspiration, Creative Folkestone will be running the Family Workshop series.
Make your own unique sculptures using this special but simple casting technique.
During this workshop you will learn how to make negative shapes and forms using a tub of margarine. Using plaster you will then cast your own sculptures!
Elevate your at-home creativity from living room floor to prime position on The Plinth.
For each workshop there are 50 free material packs available, one per family on a first come first served basis. Please pick up your pack between Thursday and Friday, from 9am-5pm from the Glassworks, prior to the Saturday workshop.
