This is a trendy, hands-on creative experience where you’ll recreate the viral lemon vaseyou’ve probably seen all over Pinterest — a fresh, textured piece covered in sculpted lemons that feels both playful and design-forward. This workshop combines plaster work and painting, allowing you to turn a simple vase into a bold, statement décor piece.
You’ll begin by creating and shaping lemons using plaster, learning how to form natural, organic textures. Once your pieces are ready, you’ll attach them to your vase, building that signature raised, clustered look. You’ll then move into painting and finishing, bringing everything to life with vibrant yellows, fresh greens, and subtle shading for that realistic, sun-kissed effect.
You’ll explore a variety of techniques — plaster shaping, surface building, layering, painting, and sealing — and learn how each step contributes to a clean, professional result. We’ll also share practical tips and studio tricks: how to securely attach elements, avoid cracking, create balanced compositions, and achieve that smooth, aesthetic finish you see online.
No prior experience is needed. Beginners are welcome, and more experienced artists will enjoy trying a new, highly satisfying mixed-media project. Everything is included — from plaster, vase base, paints, and tools to professional instruction, as well as light snacks and drinks — so you can fully enjoy the process.
