Learn how to make ceramic fruit using 2 part plaster moulds. We'll be pressing clay into the moulds to pick up the surface textures and shape of the fruit, this is the press moulding technique. The clay fruit is removed from the moulds, we'll clean up the seams to produce life like clay fruit replicas. A variety of clays will be available to use in the workshop.
The workshop allows time to make 2 - 3 medium fruits. Fruits available to mould include: pear, apple, banana, lemon, mandarin, avocado...
After the workshop your ceramic fruit will be taken away to dry, kiln fired and ready to collect from Lisa's studio in Glenbrook the following month (pieces can be posted to you for a fee).
The workshop will take place in the Weta Workshop Room at the Franklin Art Centre

A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
