In Bloom | Vulvacasting-Workshop

In Bloom | A body positive vulva casting workshop for women and people with vulva facilitated by Maria

Please note: The workshop will be held in German!

How well do you know your vulva? And when was the last time you looked at it with curiosity, without judging it, comparing to supposed ideals, or searching for flaws? When was the last time you celebrated it?

In this workshop, participants are invited to approach their own vulvas with curiosity and appreciation. Together, we will explore vulva diversity, question shame and taboos, and discover how liberating it can be to look at your own vulva from a completely new perspective.

The heart of the workshop is vulva casting: with gentle guidance, you will create a mold of your own vulva, from which your very own three-dimensional artwork will emerge – a representation of your uniqueness to take home with you.

Together, we will create a safe space where different vulvas are simply and naturally accepted. A space for curiosity, sharing, self-determination and a respectful relationship with our bodies.

You might want to join to celebrate your vulva. But you don’t have to love your vulva (yet) to participate. You don’t have to prove anything or meet any particular expectations. All you need is curiosity and willingness to embrace a truly special experience.

What to expect:

• Arriving and tuning in together
• Discovering vulva diversity: Using vulva casts and photographic material, you will learn about the diversity of vulvas and my work as a vulva casting artist. Together, we will question beauty ideals, shame and taboo surrounding this part of the body
• Vulva Watching: A guided invitation to explore your own vulva with curiosity and appreciation, using a hand mirror
• Vulva Casting: With my guidance, you will create a negative mold of your own vulva using skin friendly materials. The mold will then be filled with plaster to create your unique artwork.
• Time for meditation and sharing while the plaster sets
• Releasing the casts from their molds together – a moment for wonder, amazement and vulva appreciation!
• The workshop ends at 6:00 pm

You are welcome to participate if you are pregnant, if you have a vaginal infection or if you are menstruating. Menstrual cups or discs that sit entirely inside the vagina work well, or a tampon with the removal string placed inside the vagina. Intimate piercings can also be included in the casting, as long as they fit snugly against the skin.

What to bring:

Please wear comfy clothing and bring a large and a small towel, as well as a container for transporting your vulva cast safely, measuring at least 15 x 15 x 8 cm. Thick socks or slippers, if you wish.

IMPORTANT: Please arrive with your intimate area completely shaved or waxed. Pubic hair is a wonderful aspect of vulva diversity. However, casting with pubic hair is more difficult and time-consuming and is therefore unfortunately not possible at this workshop. If you do not wish to remove your pubic hair but would still like to have your vulva cast, please contact me at mariagroiss@gmx.net so that we can find a solution together.

Date: February 21, 2027, 2 – 6 pm
