Live Sculpting Challenge and Artist Q&A

Michael Cunliffe is the Artistic Coordinator at North Tyneside Art Studio, an experienced painter, and novice sculptor.  To share the importance of trying something new, he has challenged himself to create a sculpture live on camera, while answering your questions and talking about creativity, mental health, and the importance of making mistakes.

To join in with this session, you can create your own sculpture with plasticine, play-dough, or modelling clay, or just come along to ask questions and see what happens. Register your interest here: https://www.facebook.com/events/554712732091704/
