Sculpture in the Vineyards is happy to present Margo Gabsi again with her popular clay sculpture workshop. Last years class was a huge success and we expect the word to spread...
This workshop will take participants on an intensive journey into the creative possibilities of clay sculpture. Discover a new way of working with clay. Pieces are made hollow and without armature. Master the technique of clay sculpture and complete a resolved work up to 80cm in height in 2 days. In this workshop, participants are taken through a process of developing ideas, using pictures of various styles of sculpture as a starting point. Participants then do simple sketches of the piece they would like to make. A model or marquette of the piece is then produced. Participants are then shown the slab building technique that will be used for the larger piece. Participants then launch into their large-scale sculpture. It is possible to work in a realistic, simplified or exaggerated style. Subject matter can be a figure, bust, animal, garden feature or an organic form.
Margo has taught clay classes extensively in Sydney and country NSW. She has taught at The Art Gallery of NSW since 1998, as well as at Sturt Summer School at Mittagong, Brett Whiteley Gallery, Workshop Arts Centre Willoughby and at private and public schools throughout NSW.
