Plaster cloth Bowl Art Project






Plaster cloth bowls were made in class. First you blow up a balloon and tape it to a wide weighty container so it doesn't tip. Start by putting a couple layers of plaster cloth on about half way up the balloon, you can be creative and do it on a slant or up higher then half way.
Then add cord or any shaped object you like, plaster cloth a couple more coats over the top of the entire  bowl. Give it a couple days to dry and then paint with acrylics. After about 7 days you can coat it with a poly to give it a satin or gloss look.
