Finally here are the dates for the 2009 Weekend Workshops. I am offering 6 Workshops, each will run over a weekend (Saturday and Sunday), starting at 12.30 pm through to 6.30 pm on the Saturday, and 9am through to 4pm on the Sunday.
Tuition Costs are $130 per student, and materials will be extra. This varies depending on the size of the work you create, but generally you can expect materials to cost up to $50 per workshop. Everyone can expect to take home at least one finished work of art at the end of the weekend, and have a whole bunch of fun learning how to do it!
The venue is the North Queensland Potter’s Club at 15 Flowers St, Railway Estate.
Please call me on 47513336 to book your place- I take a maximum of 12 students per workshop, and they usually fill up fast. If the places are all taken you may choose to be placed on the waiting list, for notification if someone else drops out.
