About the Workshop;
This education resource explores key themes and influences from contemporary ceramicist Prue Venables’ creative practice, drawing heavily on her own descriptions of the formative ideas underpinning her practice and unpacking them via a series of activities to engage students.
Together with the Bendigo NAIDOC Week Committee, Bendigo Art Gallery is delighted to present a discussion with First Nations Curator Shonae Hobson and the very inspiring First Nations Fashion + Design Director Grace Lillian Lee and Manager Teagan Cowlishaw.
