The Gipsoteca by the Sea is a unique exhibition area in museum Beelden aan Zee. Shown here are many preparatory studies for well-known Dutch (war) memorials; these reveal the artistic process that preceded the making of these sculptures. In the workshop Casting in Plaster the students learn how sculptors use the material that is plaster. They will gain more in-depth knowledge from the many preparatory studies that can be seen in the Gipsoteca by the Sea. They will also get to work creatively by making a relief. In this way they will become acquainted with working in plaster.
