Bring three-dimensional ideas to life with Art Alternatives Plaster Wrap. This plaster-impregnated gauze is an easy-to-use sculpting material that activates with water, allowing artists, students, educators, and makers to create masks, props, sculptures, models, and custom forms quickly and efficiently.
Simply cut the wrap to size, dip it in water, and apply it over a mold, armature, or object. As it dries, the plaster wrap hardens into a durable surface that captures fine contours and shapes. Once cured, the finished form can be painted, embellished, carved, altered, or incorporated into mixed media projects.
Perfect for classrooms, theatrical productions, cosplay projects, sculpture, and craft applications.
