Evening Sail on the Swan River

I had a lovely relaxing sail on the swan river with some friends. The city as a backdrop was beautiful.

Paverpol Sculpture Workshop

I taught a sculpture workshop yesterday at Creator’s Corner, Canning Vale, Perth. The students got very sticky using the product Paverpol to make weatherproof statues.

Paverpol is a fabric hardener  which will dry in a day, it will adhere to wood, plaster, ceramic, clay, stone, concrete and polystyrene foam.

First a wire is formed and shaped, covered with alfoil and masking tape and the fabric dipped in Paverpol.

The statues are draped in fabric, fibres for hair and decorated with embellishments.
