T2 Robyn Lees - Masterclass Sculpture

from A$290.00

2 Day workshop - Saturday/Sunday June 20/21 10am - 4pm

SORPC Members $290; Non-members $325 12 places

Workshop Approach:

Participants will make a textured style sculpture formed on an armature, which will be prepared in advance and provided for each student in stoneware paper clay.

The armatures are then layered with textural slabs to create your sculpture. Robyn will provide lino prints, stamps and doilies for the surface decoration, using heat guns when/if required to speed up the drying process.

Glazing and surface decoration techniques will be covered

• Explore slip and underglaze application for layered surfaces

• Use a range of carving and lino tools to develop line, texture, and contrast

• Develop confidence in mark-making and surface composition.

What to bring:

 Apron

 Closed in shoes

Clay tools if you have personal favourites

 Pencil and paper to sketch on the day for those who need it (but often we just work straight on or sample small piece).

Bring something to share for our lunch break.

The workshop includes Clay, glazing and firing.

Robyn Lees - Ceramic Artist Denmark WA https://www.instagram.com/robynleesart/

Since graduating with a Visual Arts Degree from Edith Cowan University Robyn Lees has been working as an artist and has developed an extensive solo and group exhibition profile.

Her work is represented in eminent collections and publications. She has worked as a ceramic lecturer, art teacher, and workshop presenter.

Robyn’s work explores the female stereotype through the use of the ‘Painted Lady’ with all the connotations of mask, vamp and party girl. “My ladies contemplate the woman’s function and attempt to reference her emotional strength, spiritual aspirations and personal vulnerabilities”.

Since moving to the Great Southern with its diverse and magnificent natural landscape her work has developed. The feminine/environmental dynamic has become the focus of her stories.
