From a Past President

The late John Wooller was a sculptor and president of the Association of Sculptors. During his time in office he spoke at a few of our meetings and wrote many interesting, philosophical and inspiring messages for our newsletters. John’s words are as meaningful now as they were when he wrote them in 2008

For Your Diary

There is plenty of sculpture action on the program! And more being planned...

For our June meeting we have planned a visit to the National Gallery, St. Kilda Road to see the exhibition of the extraordinary genius Alexander Calder. The Exhibition " Radical Inventor " spans the life and career of a 20th century artist whose practice continued to be vital and relevant between the era of cubism and minimalism.

The May Meeting - Mould Making led by Gillian Govan

Gillian had not only cleaned the studio - there were two heaters and she had prepared photocopied notes for those making a foray into mould making. First we all discussed multi part moulds and how to decide where to make the divisions. The advantage of having knowledgeable people present was that we got a broad perspective on the subject - the problem - well there was so much going on it was hard to concentrate.

here is the sequence Gillian demonstrated for us - complete with one she had started earlier....
