FEATURED WORKSHOP

Soft Stone Sculpture Workshop with Gillian Elmslie

Sunday 28 August, 2010
11.00am - 4.00pm
$90

Complete a sculpture using the soft stone method on composite stone. You will do this in one day, working as the block hardens. First time students and experienced artists alike will find the texture of the medium very satisfying as ideas can be quickly realised and modified. It will be an engrossing day - expect to go home tired but happy!

Materials to bring with you: fruit knife, apron, rubber gloves, sketch paper and pencil and lunch.
