Join Sculpture Tasmania as we start the first of our Aspects/Ruffins Bay events at Waterton Hall, Rowella. 

Join acclaimed sculptor Dean Greeno and Aspects coordinator Patrick Sutczak for an intimate two--day walk, talk and making workshop. 

Day 1 – 10am – 3pm Meet and Greet at the Barn carpark

Participants will meet at 10am Tuesday February 1 at Waterton Hall and will be invited to walk around the edge of the bay while Dean talks about his indigenous heritage and connection to waterways. Along the way, participants will be introduced to found materials on site and be encouraged to think about ways in which objects can be arranged to create new forms and new meanings. 

Lunch will be self-catered, but a glass of Waterton Hall wine, juice or water will be included to enjoy at the magnificent Boathouse. 

In the afternoon, the morning discussions will be expanded upon, and participants will be given the opportunity to return along the water’s edge and gather materials for the following day. 

The day will end with a glass of wine, juice or water at the Stone Barn.

Day 2 – 10am - 3pm Meet and Greet at the Barn carpark.

Participants will return for a day of experimentation and making. There will be ample opportunity to gather more materials if required from the site. 

Lunch will be self-catered, but a glass of Waterton Hall wine, juice or water will be included to enjoy at the grounds near the historic and fully restored Barn. 

Workshops and making techniques will be guided by Dean and indeed by other participants as we share ideas, concepts and creations. All participants will be able to take their work home to enjoy. 

Wine tasting available at the Barn at the conclusion of the workshop.

Participants may wish to seek accommodation in the Rowella if travelling from out of town. Accommodate is available on site or at various B and Bs in the area.

Bags or small containers for the collection of materials.

A self-prepared lunch and snacks
