M15464 is unique in that it provides a personalized holiday for the making of art. Set in a forest on the east coast of Australia this tranquil place is perfect to learn about ceramic sculpture, painting and drawing while living as a valued guest within a private home-stay.
It is close to some of the most beautiful (almost deserted) beaches in the world, in a valley that could be inhabited by hobbits, with forests, mountains, rivers and farmlands. The homestead is a spacious hand made house built with recycled natural materials with a tropical garden setting that is populated by many species of native Australian birds. Forest walks and exploration of the creek in its own tropical idyll is a feature of this place.
The tutor Sally Hook has twenty seven years experience in making ceramic sculpture both in Australia and internationally, who can take you into areas of creativity that you have always wished you could try. Her skills include figurative sculpture, wheel work, mold design, surface finishes and glazing techniques.
She encourages drawing and marquette-making for the development of ideas before larger works are undertaken, with guidance and assistance as the work progresses. It is intended that the finished art work will be fired and sent to the guests after the workshop concludes.
Guests stay from three day or five day workshops, tailored to suit individuals from beginners to experienced clay artists and painters. Longer periods of up to ten days are possible.
Guests can expect a very personalized experience, getting to know the artist and her partner Dirk who provide them with fresh vegetables from his organic garden. Meals are made to suit the tastes and preferences of the guests and cover a wide range of culinary styles.
This is a different holiday experience in that you are invited to become part of a functioning artist's home and studio, and being given time and assistance to discover your own artistic potential. |
