16 & 17 SEPTEMBER
Join Francesca to create a set of soft sculptures where you will explore the design process and art making inspired by playful and powerful elements of children’s picture storybooks.
Participants will design and create a soft sculpture, as they recognise, reflect and connect with the concept that emotions can be visible and invisible.
During this workshop, participants will learn the transferable skills and techniques in the construction of soft sculpture and will explore and experiment with mixed media to embellish their soft sculptures.
Alongside being a published author Francesca has a passion for all things art, craft and DIY.
Francesca ran her own business, 'See Make Play' for 8 years, hosting creative workshops to over 30,000 adults and children across Australia. Over the years, her clients include the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Seed Heritage, Channel 9 and En Pointe Events.
After consulting for Zart Art for several years, Francesca landed her dream job with the company at the beginning of 2024, joining the amazing and dynamic Zart Education team. Her goal is to elevate the currency of literacy and creativity, hoping that others recognise its inherent curriculum links. With over 13 years as a primary school educator with a Master of Literacy, Francesca believes cultivating creativity in ourselves as it can provide limitless possibilities for growth, expression, and connection between oneself and others.
In her personal artistic practice, Francesca draws upon her childhood and life experiences to create nostalgic, colourful, mixed media playful sculptures and artworks.
