Your teacher
Hi! I’m Alisha, a Melbourne-based artist, sculptor, and spatial practitioner with over a decade of experience exploring how we inhabit space, create form, and connect through material practices.My creative journey began at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), where I fell in love with tactile, hands-on media, working with everything from clay, plaster, and metal to 3D printing, painting, drawing, and printmaking. Over the years, my work has grown into site-responsive installations, public art commissions, and exhibitions across Melbourne including West Space, Testing Grounds, and Midsumma. In 2016, I founded Soft Infrastructure, a practice exploring how systems of care, community knowledge, and spatial design intersect.I believe creative expression is fundamental to wellbeing and connection. Teaching allows me to share trade-based and tactile sculpting techniques in an approachable, supportive environment where anyone can build confidence, experiment with raw materials, and drop into a flow state.Experience & Qualifications10+ Years of Practice: Experienced sculptor, spatial practitioner, and community leader.Academic Background: VCA graduate; Advisory Board Member for Interior Design & Spatial Disciplines at RMIT University; guest examiner and lecturer.Recognized Works: Public art commissions, contemporary gallery exhibitions, and extensive community-engaged creative projects across Victoria. www.alishaabate.com Whether you're picking up clay for the first time or looking to explore new artistic mediums, I’m excited to welcome you to the studio and help you discover the joy of making!
