Portland Spring 2027

This is a project that will get your hands wet and plastery. We will create our shrines using cardboard and coating them with plaster tape and plaster of Paris. To speed up the drying process we will use our blow dryers/heat guns. Once the shrines are dry we can solder the opening and attach our toppers of choice.
