Material-based workshops exploring the visual qualities of surface and form — clay, plaster, jesmonite, silicone, paper and card.
"Material-based practice focused on the visual qualities of surfaces and form, as well as technical knowledge."
Materia Prima workshops bring together making and understanding. Each session is grounded in process — you learn by doing, guided by an artist whose own practice is rooted in the same materials and methods.
All sessions are hands-on and practical. No prior experience required.
Each process is taught through its material logic — how a substance behaves, what it resists, what it allows. Plaster relief · Jesmonite / plaster casting · Silicone model-making · Paper and card sculpture
All sessions are hands-on and practical. Choose the format that suits your pace and purpose.
