Hi there all our studio students and friends hope you are enjoying the sculptures we have created especially for the Brighton Classic Sculptures exhibition…don't forget to vote.. if you like what we have created…...

watch this space over the next few weeks and we will show you some early photos of the sculptures as they came to life over the past twelve months ……

One of the first processes in the journey for the Magic Nautilus Mushroom.





…...the stack of plates, on the corner of this table, are the beginnings of the Magic Nautilus Mushroom before Bruce cut them into graduating sizes for Linda to glue onto the mushroom top….


 We will show you some shots of their journey down to the Esplanade to be exhibited….



Also just thought I would let you know that we hold classes that will take you through the sculpture process…teaching you to mosaic your own bug $30 for the Studio's 3 hour lesson, is the fun way to start…. we have students starting these classes at the moment.. phone Linda 0408 828 960 for times and bookings…
