Exploring shape and texture to create a wall hanging.

Create a wall-based sculpture that uses textures and shapes to create a multi-dimensional painting. You'll be guided through a series of fundamental sculpting and joining techniques that you will then be able to explore at your own pace as you build layers and textures. This is a beautiful and slow process that will suit the quiet creative seeking fresh inspiration and ways to reference nature.

What's included:

+ Complimentary entry to Adelaide Ceramics Market

+ A 70 minute workshop with expert tuition from Connie Augoustinos, drawing on her experience as an intuitive maker and her unique craft vernacular that considers her cultural heritage, history of craft, and the natural world.

+ One wall hanging disc ready for you to adorn. Each disc is pre-made by Connie Augoustinos measuring approx. 12cm diameter. 

+ Clay and tools to create textural adornments to attach to your pre-made disc. A selection of Connie's shells and textural influences will be available for you to explore and be inspired by.

+ Firing + glazing service after the workshop. Two of Connie's signature finishing options will be available for you to select from at the time of the workshop.

+ Instructions for hanging your piece.

+ Packaging and postage of your finished work to your address in South Australia within 8 weeks of the workshop.

This workshop is suitable for ages 16+ and any skill level, but it does dive deeper into creative techniques that will be beneficial for makers with clay experience.
