Pataka Sculpting shots


Here's a couple shots from our sculpting workshop from December last year!

Huge thanks to Matt Hosey for the beautiful photos, and to everyone who made it along to the workshop. It was a great experience for me, and it was amazing to share some of my ideas with those who made it along.
Sorry that I didn't manage to get photos of everyone's work, but feel free to send them to me, if you want to share.

 If you look closely and you can see Dennis' dragon swimming through the seaweed.

Tidal Tyranny + Workshop


Workshop Fun

OK.
So about a month or so ago I was approached by a good friend of mine who thought it would be a great idea to run a workshop. I have never ran a workshop of any kind, so I thought why not!

Frankly the idea kind of scares me a little but non the less it will be a great experience for me 
and for anyone who is interested in my work and my process.

So here we are - I'm a running a driftwood sculpting workshop at Pataka Gallery in Porirua
on the 6th of December. It will start at 11 am and go till 4pm.
$50 for the day.

All materials will be supplied, how ever if you have any great pieces of driftwood or seaweed you think might be a great addition feel free to bring it along!

Only 15 spots and they are filling up quick. So if you would like to come along or get more information please email me at
che.thorpe@gmail.com to secure a spot.

Thank you!!!!

Also this Tidal Tyrant below will be for sale at Black coffee in Newtown.
