✋ Create a high-quality, realistic cast of your hand to keep forever

Join artist Olga Ziemska for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the fascinating process of life casting—creating an incredibly detailed sculpture of your hand using professional-grade life-casting materials. This workshop will guide you step-by-step through the molding and casting technique to produce a plaster cast of your hand.

What You’ll Create

🔹Precision Mold & Cast– Learn how to use skin-safe alginate to capture every detail of your hand, then cast it in durable plaster.
🔹Personalized Sculpture– Pose your hand in a way that expresses your personality—holding an object, making a gesture, or forming a symbol.
🔹Professional Finishing– Once your cast is set, we’ll walk through sanding and finishing techniques to enhance its final look.
🔹Take It Home!– You’ll leave with a beautifully detailed plaster sculpture of your hand, ready for display.
