Ever wanted to create a stunning, life-like sculpture? Join us to craft a beautiful 50 cm group of 3 standing ladies from scratch.
We will guide you through building a polystyrene, wire, and foil skeleton, sculpting elegant features, and "dressing" your figure in fabric dipped in Paverpol. This unique process ensures your art can live indoors or out! We’ll add texture with ArtStone and Apoxie Sculpt, finishing with a professional dry-brush highlight that brings the whole piece to life.
What you'll get
Students will take home a sculpture for indoors or outdoors. The sculpture will need to be kept indoors for 2 weeks until it dries completely. If you have not quite completed your ladies, you are welcome to attend a 3-hour Thursday or Saturday class to complete your work.
Knowledge required
This workshop suits beginner through to intermediate levels.
What to bring
Please bring lunch and wear 'art clothes.'

Since 1996, I have been pushing the boundaries of mixed media clay art. As a self-taught sculptor, my minimal training has been a liberation, allowing me to approach clay with refreshing freedom and no preconceived notions of its "proper" use. "Ignorance is not only bliss, but genuinely constructive, particularly in a medium as adaptable as Polymer & Air-Dry clay."
My artistic heart belongs to whimsical art, where I blend various clays with diverse mediums to birth captivating creations. This distinct style has garnered international recognition, notably a first-place award in the International Polymer Clay Association Sculpture Award Global Exhibition 2023 and a close second in the People’s Choice Sculpture for Clyde 2023. Beyond my studio, I am a dedicated educator, offering weekly classes and workshops in Oxley, Canberra, and serving as the Co-Ordinator for the long-running Contemporary Craft Retreat at Tuggeranong Southern Cross Club, celebrating its 15th year.
