Tuesday 7 January – Creative Totem with Sasha Jury-Radford
In this fun hand-building class you will create and decorate a totem based around a theme of interest to you. Perhaps botanical, magical or even abstract. No experience necessary! Sasha will help you plan and realise your ideas.
Each participant will make a ceramic totem for the house or garden. This is a great workshop introducing basic hand-building techniques, as well as composition and design.
Beginners should keep their designs simple forms, while more experienced ceramicists who will work faster, can go to town with their own quirky or more complex design
This fun-filled workshop will inspire children to use their imagination and express it through words and visuals.
2 x 2 hour sessions – each $25
10.30-12.30pm
1.00pm-3.00pm
Wednesday 8 January – Textiles – Eco-Dye with Jodie Herden
Join artist Jodie Herden for a textile class that focuses on eco-dye. Eco-dyeing is a kind of natural dyeing technique that uses leaves, flowers and other plant materials to create patterns and colours on fabric and paper. The process involves bundling plant materials and fabric together, then steaming or boiling the bundle to transfer the colour and patterns from the plants to the fabric.
The result is an unique, one of a kind print thar captures the beauty of nature.
Bring your own white cotton t-shirt if you would like to create your own unique t-shirt!
2 x 2 hour sessions – each $25
10.30-12.30pm
1.00pm-3.00pm
