After silt wash-out, participants cast plaster or concrete products in a cocoon mold. Participants also cast liquid clay in silt molds they have formed and observe the Arcosanti Foundry sand cast bronze. In this one-day workshop, kids of all ages will have a chance to learn more about the silt casting of the buildings and sculptures at Arcosanti. During the day, students will make a silt-cast plaster tile, help the group carve a silt totem pole, take a nature walk and a tour. You must register at least one week in advance.
Space is limited, so register early.
Further dates may be available from Elderhostel . Applicants must be 55 years of age. Accommodations for these groups are in the Arcosanti Guest Rooms.
