During the holidays, you may enjoy presentations on how plaster casts are made in the Royal Moulding Shop. Our educators will reveal to the participants the secrets of the craft of an 18th century artist and explain why plaster casts were as popular as they were in the collection of Stanisław August.
Displays in the Royal Moulding Shop in the Old Orangery will take place on 6, 13, 20 and 27 July as well as on 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 August, at 11.00, 11.30, 12.00, 12.30. Each presentation will last thirty minutes and it can be attended by both children and adults. Admission is free.
The Moulding Shop in the Old Orangery is an art workshop modelled on the 18th century workshop, where plaster casts of ancient and modern sculptures were made. Connected with the Royal Sculpture Gallery, it is an exceptional education zone alluding to the King’s idea of providing future artists with practical education.
