The ASV Committee would like to share with members some of the interesting highlights of Jean’s career and achievements from 1953. Both a painter and sculptor, she has been very supportive of the ASV. During travels overseas she gave exhibitions in London and Edinburgh, and in Australia gave solo exhibitions at the Martin Street Gallery between 1980 and 1990. Her works are held in collections at La Trobe University and Benalla Art Gallery. She also launched a book at the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne. She has been a regular contributor to ASV Exhibitions, and works from 2003 are shown on the ASV web site

Sculpture ClassesProfessional sculptor and jeweller, Viktor Kalinowski, runs ongoing classes where people have the opportunity to work in his studio on their own projects. Viktor offers tuition as needed by the student to initially develop a design, explore mediums and then create a sculpture. The large studio set up and equipment provide the option for students to work in stone, metal, wood, clay and many other mediums.
Classes held every Wednesday and attendance is on a casual basis.
When: Wednesday 1pm – 4pm ongoing throughout the year.
Cost: $40 per class plus materials
Sculpture from Life
The classes will focus on skills such as observation of the 3D form, drawing as the beginning of design and building clay figures. The
group will work with a life model for 3 weeks both drawing and working in clay; students are encouraged to express the essence of the figure in their own style. In the remaining weeks the group will build on their experience and use their completed fi gures as inspiration to build a sculpture in plaster. Techniques covered include creating armatures, mould making, and casting. Beginners are welcome to join this course and options are also available for students to continue ongoing work at the studio in different mediums. The new studio at Mount Burnett is spacious and on a warm day the doors open out onto the gardens.
