Sweet treats or sculpture?

Feb 27th

Year 9 have been busy in the art studio transforming Modroc—a specialised plaster-impregnated bandage—into some seriously impressive confectionery models!

By dipping the gauze in water and layering it over handmade armatures, our students have mastered the art of structural modeling. From the initial messy layers to the final painted details, these sculptures look good enough to eat! Kudos to our Year 9s for their patience and creative flair. We’re feeling a sugar rush just looking at these!
