We are looking at having Lindsay Muir as a tutor next year. The photos are some examples of his work. Have a look at his page, there is the most amazing water scene. We need to know how many members are interested because workshops are now a bit more than previously but still exceptional value at about $310 for early bird members. I haven't been able to find any workshop even close to this amount, they are all much more. Considering Lindsay is an extremely well know international artist we are lucky to be a able to have a workshop with him. One of our members has done a workshop with him and said it was great. The chance to use his spray equipment and learn his unique way of colouring these sculptures as well as making them. Wow.
