Plaster Shop Vital Part Of Modern Film Studio
The plaster shop at a major Hollywood studio under J L Thompson is a bustling hub. Eight to twelve workers produce durable plaster walls statues and decorative pieces for sets, with large figures and relief work stored above and half finished casts below.
