Each workshop is a stand-alone experience, so you can choose the day that suits you best.
We meet at 10:00 am at my art space, which is conveniently located between Hammerstruck Jewellers and WA Chinese on Peels Place—detailed directions are available on my website. Once everyone has arrived and settled in, I’ll demonstrate how to build, shape, and hollow your form. By the end of the session, your finished torso sculpture will stand at approximately 15cm high. Sculpture is very time consuming so we will create a small artwork that can be completed in this time frame. Larger pieces will need many more hours so please bear this in mind and manage your expectations.
A delicious grazing table will be provided, including one complimentary glass of prosecco and sparkling mineral water. If you have specific dietary requirements, please feel free to bring your own lunch.
After lunch we will refine the sculpture and ensure it is kiln safe and explore underglazes and iron oxide, please note this is an optional process as you might like to keep it simple and add cold finishes after the sculpture has been bisque fired.

Firing and Collection
Please allow up to 8 weeks for your piece to be fired. Once your artwork is ready, you will be contacted via email with collection details. Artworks must be collected within 4 weeks of notification due to limited storage space, at the times specified in your email. If you are unable to collect at those times, alternative arrangements can be made to suit both of us. If you are collecting works for others, you must sign out all items you pick up, including your own.
Booking Your Seat
To reserve your place, please email [email protected] for payment details. Your place will be held for 24 hours. Once payment is received, your booking is confirmed. Please be aware that refunds are not available; however, if you cannot attend, you may transfer your spot to someone else.
its best to view the torso workshop on my website as facebook doesnt like pics of figurative sculpture.
