plaster carving

I was wondering if anyone on the list can offer some tips as to how to
approach plaster carving with 8th grade students. I have read on the list
about mixing vermiculite to soften the plaster, but I'm not sure what I need
for carving. I intend to do abstract organic small sculptures in the Arp and
Moore vein. Is this too difficult for this grade level and what are some of
the things to keep an eye on?
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
