Jo Munford, a professional stained glass artist creating original glass art from her studio in Netley Abbey, Hampshire, will be coming to our studio to teach a stained glass workshop resulting in you taking home your own sun catcher.

Lisa Takahashi returns to our studio, this time to run a two day workshop.  Come along if you would like to immerse yourself in in this tactile and meditative approach to relief printmaking. 

This workshop will be  tutored by Will Davies, a sculptor with 20 years of experience who has worked as Head Stonemason at Winchester Cathedral.  This introduction to carving uses thermalite blocks which are soft to carve and enable the completion of a sculpture in one day.

We have an exciting workshop planned in June led by Su Joy who will be showing us how to put together mosaic tablets.

After the success of our first copper workshop, Lucille Scott again ran an introductory workshop to working with copper.  This was an intensive workshop that included techniques such as cutting and hammering out copper sheeting, soldering, working with wire and covered processes such as annealing, folding, spreading and shaping.

This two day introductory workshop enabled paritcipants to experience coil building, Kurinuki (the Japanese art of carving from a block of clay to make a tea bowl or other small vessel) and learn to make a pinch pot.

On Saturday 11th September 2021, after having to cancel this workshop last year because of covid restrictions, we were finally able to run this one day wood carving workshop led by Wessex Sculptors member David Knight

On November 23rd, John Souter ran a very successful Head and Torso Workshop at the studio.  This is always a popular workshop and, with limited places, there is often a waiting list.  We had an excellent model and used clay over an armature supporting both head and shoulders.

Wessex Sculptor member Madeleine Page ran a very successful one day workshop on Saturday 16th February 2019, 10am – 4pm at The Barn studio, showing us some fascinating possibilities sculpting with paper.
