Jesmonite Casting Workshop with Phil Cuttance

— ,Barbican Shop
Phil Cuttance casting workshops showing jesmonite vases

Learn how to cast your own Jesmonite stone vase.

Returning this season, Phil Cuttance leads this series of hands–on workshops, with his cool, contemporary take on an age old craft. Participants select the shape of their vase, assemble their own moulds and experiment with style and colour before casting their very own jesmonite vase.

Phil Cuttance is a London–based designer/maker from New Zealand. He creates handmade pieces that are carefully crafted using sharp lines, geometry and complex forms.
