Hello dear friends!
Here are some more creative ideas that I put into practice with my students.
We made various figures from plaster. We put magnets on some of them, some served as pendants, and we also made candlesticks. I poured the gypsum into the water, slowly, so that the bubbles disappear and the mixture must be a little thinner, like for pancakes. It hardens quickly, they are removed from the mold and dried naturally, until they are completely white figures. Then my students temper it both, and after drying, we varnish it with an odorless spray varnish. And voila, the little works of art are done!
