Once again it’s that time of year, and at last I have finished with the Latest Schedule! Kids Holiday Workshops …. an Advanced Sculpture Workshop set for January and all the great Workshops you have come to know from The SeedPod Studio.
Next year we will re-look at all the workshops to bring some new and exciting courses in …. so keep the ideas coming in …. see you at the studio!
Mixed Media Mirror
So I’ve been thinking of starting a series of advanced mosaic classes ….. something along the lines of:
- Pet Portraiture – bring in a photo of your favorite pet or animal and turn it into an abstract mosaic
- Xmas tree – along the lines of our Big Tree in the studio, you will learn to work with wire and cement to create your own (smaller) tree base and once complete mosaic it. Can also include a wire workshop to make the top branches of the tree etc.
- Creating lightweight sculptural forms to mosaic – techniques and mosaic’ing until project complete (or partly complete)
- Large scale murals – work on a large scale wall mural – installations could be for community type projects …. schools in the townships etc. You get to work on and install a large scale project you wouldn’t typically do at home …
I have so many ideas floating around in my head!! Thought it might be nice to get some feedback from all you guys …. let me know what you think? Would you be keen to get involved?
I’m looking to revamp most of the workshops we offer so we can get some new and exciting things going at the studio – email me some ideas: info@seedpodstudio.co.za
We are going to be in Pretoria this weekend …. lots of new and exciting stock and some new kits too. Take a look at our Latest Schedule to see the wonderful new courses we are running. Crafters Cement, Pewter and Handwork Pottery classes – it’s all very exciting!
We are having a host of technical difficulties at the moment, so please be patient while we attend to them … if all else fails become a FAN on Facebook for all the latest info. Thanks!
I know this site has been quiet of late … simply because I’m finding it sooo much quicker and easier to send through quick bits of news and photos on Facebook …. so please join up! But until then here is the latest schedule, with lots of activities to keep everyone busy – especially the kids over the school holidays. And a bit of exciting news – we have managed to secure some extra space in Broadacres – just 2 doors down from our current studio. So watch this space to see all the news.
Wow …. what a busy couple of weeks …. with finishing off our AMAZING Soccer Ball project and getting ready for HobbyX, things have been crazy. For all of you who are already fans on FaceBook you would have seen the photos of our Ball, for those of you who haven’t – please go and take a look:
2010 Soccer Ball.
The studio is getting back to some normality …. still a bit of unpacking to do but otherwise we shuffled a few things around and are giving the place a bit of a spring clean!
Thanks for all the support on the weekend and for visiting us on the stand – see you in the studio soon.
