Artist-Led Sculpture Making Workshops

Bring creativity to life with a hands-on sculpture-making workshop led by an exhibiting artist and professional educator. Students will meet an artist, discover the ideas and processes behind their practice, and experiment with materials and techniques to create their own sculptural artworks.
Inspired by the natural world, the built environment and the possibilities of sculpture, students are encouraged to explore, problem-solve and let their imaginations lead the way. Each workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from an artist and educator, try something new and experience the excitement of making art in the inspiring coastal setting of Tamarama.
