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!
