5 SARGOOD STREET ALTONA
Four weeks: September 8 to 29
Discover the freedom of an open studio environment where creativity and exploration are encouraged. The Creative Sculpture courses with Altona Artisans focus on the versatility of clay, while also welcoming the use of complementary materials such as paper, cardboard, fabric, and other mixed media.
Under Ilona’s guidance, you will learn how to shape, refine, and decorate your work to reflect your own ideas and style. Whether you wish to model figures, animals, plants, portraits, or abstract forms, the emphasis is on personal expression and creative discovery. Participants are supported at every stage - from the initial concept to the finished piece - in a relaxed yet focused studio setting.
Materials supplied.
Saturdays, 1pm–3pm
September 19 & 26, and October 10 & 17
Create a vibrant, textured mosaic plaque using an eclectic mix of materials, including tesserae, tiles, crockery, beads and stones.

You can follow a planned design or let the shapes, colours and textures of the materials inspire your creation as you go.
