Perfect Mothers Day outing!

Creative workshops, great food, wine tasting and exquisite products for sale.

 Arts in the Olives Festival will have a strong sculptural emphasis in 2012.

 Exciting news of the moment is the promised presence of talented metal sculptor Chris Trotter to exhibit and sell his work somewhere under the trees and close to the creek.

Winner of the Caldera Art Award – Therese Flynn Clark – will guide students in basket sculpture- a medium ideally suited to this environment as materials can be gathered in close proximity and the creative talents of Luke Zwolsman will inspire students working in stone.

Flying Arts tutor, Casselle Mountford will focus the student group on an environmental sculpture and the blacksmiths will again beat beautiful shapes from hot iron with Gilbert Loutit.

Local potters promise expert guidance in fashioning clay into sculptural objects of beauty.  They will work with adults and children and the children need pay only for materials.

Children’s workshops will all be free with some requiring a charge for materials and the sculptural theme continuing with Claudia Orbas   guiding their work with river rocks.

 Of course more workshops are planned in disciplines other than sculpture, and their exciting details are published now on
