A 1.5-hour workshop ( approx.) in which participants make a unique candlestick from a water-based, non-toxic casting material called Jesmonite, with Phil in the Home From Home pavilion. Each participant has the opportunity to conceive and cast their own truly unique candleholder which they will take home at the end.
Workshop details:
> Participants will sit at a table in the 'Home from Home' pavilion, where they will have set up in front of them a pre-made mould and the casting materials and pigments required.
> Then a brief intro from Phil about his work and commission to create artworks for Ladden Garden and then a brief explanation of the Celestine mining history of Yate.
> Next, Phil will demonstrate the casting process; the mixing of the material and adding of colours, and pouring the material into the mould.
> We'll then leave our candleholders to set in their moulds for 20 mins approx and refreshments will be provided.
> Finally we'll de-mould our candlesticks, sand and wax any rough edges before participants take them home.
