Show n Share - PLUS Pyrography with Michael Wang & Helen McIntosh

Have you thought about trying your hand at sculpture but didn't know where to start?

Ever ask yourself “How did they do that?” when looking at a sculpture?

Are you an experienced sculptor who'd like to share your experience with other sculptors?

Are you keen to experiment with techniques and wonder if others are too?

Would you like to get out of the studio every couple of months for some face-to-face time with fellow sculptors?

Have you thought of running a workshop but lack confidence and experience? Try out a summary of your presentation on a small group of appreciative and encouraging guinea pigs!

All these plus more can be answered and more is possible! The more sculptors participating in this event, the better it will be. There is no expectation of experience, in fact, novice sculptors are as welcome as more experienced sculptors. Please make the most of your SQ membership and meet, connect with and learn from each other.

If you’ve never been to The Shed, this is your chance, while we still have it! Parking is usually available behind the Old Museum.

Show n Share is a regular event, sometimes alternating with workshops, and like the workshops, is free for SQ members.

Join us this month for a chance to share with others some of the artwork you and others are working on. If you're not doing anything atm, come and be inspired!

PLUS - experiment with Pyrography, or wood burning. This technique can be used as a process and art form in itself, as a drawing technique, or as a technique to enhance wooden sculptures by defining details. It has also been popularised through Gourd Art. If you have your own Pyrography tools, please bring them along. otherwise, there will be tools available to experiment with.
