Bust Casting Workshop at Centrespace Gallery

Please note before booking that you must book with someone to cast.

Join body casting artist Ellen Downes for this very special bust casting workshop in the heart of Bristol, surrounded by 300 golden Jesmonite nipple casts. You will learn how to make a cast of the person you've come to the workshop with and leave with a special cast of your bust.

Taking place in Every Body’s Story exhibition space at Centrespace Gallery, your host Ellen, who runs Bristol body casting studio 'Every Body's Story', will introduce you to the basics of body casting. You will be guided through making a cast of someone that is bonded with you in sisterhood or partnership.

Come as a pair with the person you will be doing the cast, but you both need to book separately.

In this workshop you will:

• Be introduced to the therapeutic and ancient art of body casting which can be a healing and ceremonial way of connecting to the body
• Have the chance to play with plaster, and learn to create a body cast as a pair or group
• Have your own cast to take home with you to treasure, as a symbol of your friendship, love and connection with the person you made the cast with

This event is open to those who identify as women or AFAB non-binary. This workshop has been created for us to gather, share, celebrate and explore our connections to our bodies.

If you have any questions, drop Ellen a DM at @everybodysstory or email her at ellen@everybodysstory.co.uk

This is an LGBTQIA+ event and a welcoming space for all that attend.
