workshop #2

Despite  the  damp weather, (we are used to that at Mission Beach), the wide verandahs of Ninney Rise provided an excellent space for many hands on at the second workshop creating cassowary sculptures for the  festival parade.

This time it was to create the shapes from the drawings with loya cane and attach them to the bamboo frames.

Then wallpaper glue was sponged onto tissue paper. The glue sodden paper was then placed over the shapes.  Lots of gooey fun!!  All toxic free and water soluble.

It was wonderful to see it all evolve.  The sculptures have been stored to let the glue paper dry crisp.

Next workshop will be adding colour, texture and ... up to the imagination..!  See full program and features of the festival here.
