ONE DAY SCULPTURE DAY AT THE GALLERY

Have you ever wanted to try sculpture but didn’t know where to start.

Then come and discover the wonderful sculptural qualities of Hebel.

What is Hebel?

Hebel is a lightweight building material

You may have seen it on TV in a garden program

being made into an elaborate outdoor BBQ area.

The great thing for artists is that as well as being lightweight, it is also much

easier to carve and work than marble or granite (and considerably cheaper).

This year we are offering two work days when you can come and experiment, learn from the other participants as well as beginning your sculptural piece. For members the cost is $20 for the workday/s and the exhibition. For non members the cost is $25 for the workday/s and the exhibiion.

The dates are

Sunday, July 25th. 10am – 4pm

Sunday, August 22nd. 10am – 4pm
