FIGURINE ON A MUSHROOM SCULPTURE WORKSHOP - 20th & 27th July 2024
About this Event
The classes will run over two days on 20th and 27th July 2024. The Monte Lupo studio is at 269 Padstow Rd, Eight Mile Plains, behind the Monte Lupo Café.
The café will be open for light meals and coffee.
DAY 1| Saturday 20th | 10am - 1pm
You will be guided through the process of forming your own Girl on a Mushroom and giving your masterpiece some personality through sculptural techniques. The mushroom will be thrown in parts for you to construct and the body of the girl is also a thrown piece. The completed sculpture is approximately 40cm tall.
DAY 2 | Saturday 27th | 10am - 1pm
You will be guided through the process of decorating your piece, ready for firing.
After the second day, your piece will be fired by our talented team at Monte Lupo studio, ready for you to take home. The sculpture is usually ready to take home a week later.
Please note, we do not provide every underglaze colour. If there is a particular colour you want and we do not provide, please purchase your own from Pottery Supplies at your own expense.

4. If Monte Lupo needs to postpone or cancel a workshop, the student will be notified of the change and makeup classes be offered at a time convenient for the majority of the students or during other workshop sessions. Cancellation of a workshop will only occur if there is venue/ equipment, staffing or material issues.
