Plaster: Molding, On-Site and Off-Site Casting, Trim, and Cornices
In this class, we will explore the art and craft of plaster, from its use as a wall surface to its intricate application as decorative trim. You鈥檒l learn how plaster is fabricated and installed, whether molded on-site or cast off-site as an appliqu茅.
Our journey will include remarkable examples like the Ch芒teau de Fontainebleau, Robert Adam鈥檚 Osterley Park, the John Soane Museum, and Antonio Gaud铆鈥檚 Casa G眉ell. We will examine plaster as both a key architectural element and an ethereal, cloud-like surface that transforms spaces.
