Really nice! I'm a big fan of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. I've done some sculpture work with flat wire, polymer clay, and marble, but never plaster. (I'm pretty new to sculpture and still finding my medium.) Can you get a smoother or semi-polished final texture with plaster, or is it always going to be somewhat rough at the end? I've seen smooth, white, open freeform or ribbon-like sculptures and never know what the material is.
Yes! You can get a smooth matte or gloss finish with different clear acrylic spray paints. I am inspired by both those artists and love their work. Happy sculpting and thanks for tuning in!
Basically by smashing them into powder, screening the powder and then cooking the plaster to get all the water out at 250 degrees. It’s a lot of work but saves the plaster from the landfill.
Glorgeous 😍😍🥰❤l

How do you repurpose the plaster chippings?

Yes. So far I have found that it sets up well
