Hebel Sculpture Carving workshop with Zeatta Baulch

Participants will be provided with everything needed to design and make a candle holder or bowl.

The School Art Project is part of the Burnett Heads Progress and Sports Association 2023 Art and Photography Show.
Participating schools will create a sculpture from found and recycled materials using the theme, River Land Sea for inspiration.
Local artist Helen Crocker has been visiting each of the five state primary schools, Burnett Heads, Bargara, Elliott Heads, Woongarra and Kalkie demonstrating the art of sculpture to help the students with their creations.
Entries from schools will be displayed alongside the artworks at the show, with a perpetual trophy awarded to the winner.
