Drop in "This Sunday" workshops

Post by Gerard »

Observers are welcome to watch BSV workshops this Sunday.
There will be 2 sessions 9.00am till noon and 1.00pm till 4.00pm. Observer cost is $5 per session.

For those who do not know what to expect, each session will have 8 participants.
They will be assisted by 3 very talented artists Steve, Joe (Jow) and Quentin. Who will discuss and design a future style for each persons tree. The owner will make the final decision and the tree will be styled on the day by the owner with the guideance and help of the instructors.
You can expect the instructors to move from person to person to check the progress.

These workshops often involve some very serious branch and trunk bending with the use of raffia, rubber, heavy wire and iron bars. The transformations can be wonderful. :worship: :clap:

A great opportunity to learn :imo:

31-33 Strathalbyn Street, East Kew. Sunday July 3
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.

Yes, today is the day.
Looks like a cold and windy day, a good day to watch "others" at work.
Todays sessions start at 9.00am and 1.oopm
