About this event
Discover the art of sculpture in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop led by professional artist and tutor Sarah-Marie Underhay of Sunflower Artistry.
Working step-by-step, you’ll learn how to build, shape and add expressive details to your own characterful hare sculpture using high-quality air-dry clay. Whether your hare becomes elegant and alert or wonderfully quirky, every finished piece will be completely unique.
No previous sculpting experience is needed. Sarah-Marie will demonstrate each stage and offer plenty of individual guidance throughout. All materials are included, along with paints, brushes and varnish to take home, plus access to helpful finishing tutorials once your sculpture has dried.
Suitable for ages 12+. Younger participants may attend with a participating adult. Please wear clothing suitable for working with clay.
Times: 2pm- 5pm
Tickets: £46 per person
About the Venue
The Apex is an award-winning venue, known for its acoustic excellence and home to a diverse programme of live music and events; from classical concerts to pop, rock, jazz, blues, world, country and folk, plus comedy and dance performances.
It also hosts a number of community and corporate events, offering the local community and wider environs a unique and exciting space from which visitors can see a great selection of artists, bands and events.
It has been very well publicised (and we never tire of hearing it!) that, as well as its architectural beauty, The Apex also has the very best acoustics, with many musicians who've played here describing it as the best acoustic in the UK, if not Europe:
"Best new venue in the UK. Absolutely superb" - Funeral For A Friend
"Best acoustic wee had in 40 years of touring" - Fairport Convention
"The best hall we have ever played in" - The Escher String Quartet
New Outside Bar
The Apex's brand-new outdoor bar, supplied and installed by Greene King, opens on Friday 31 July!
Open Thursdays to Sundays, 12pm–6pm, make the most of summer with a full bar service including alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, four draught pumps, refreshing spritzes, the full Coffee House café menu and our much-loved Criterion ice cream.
Don't miss Greene King's new Pilfer - a refreshingly crisp lager, infused with juicy peach and inspired by a mischievous local legend!
