Locals with a creative streak or enthusiasm to build are invited to join a free, hands-on art experience led by acclaimed regional artist Lalune Croker from Lalune Croker Art this Saturday, 31 May.
Hosted by Whitsunday Art Fusion, the sculptural flower workshop will guide participants in creating decorative blooms using cane, bamboo, and paper.
Lalune said that she has completed workshops in the past but this workshop will be targeted more towards adults. However, the workshop is open for anyone 12 and up and each participant will make and take home their own flower sculpture.
Best known for her large, illuminated lanterns featured at the Great Barrier Reef Festival and Festival of Outback Skies, Lalune brings a passion for natural materials and sculpture to the region. Her past creations include a nine-metre snake puppet lantern and various biodegradable installations.
“I really like to use natural materials. I like the idea that at the end of the world it can break down into the into the ground and become soil,” Lalune explained.
“I love the organic-ness of it, and I love the way, as much as you put effort into design, the cane is going to do what the cane is going to do.
“Each piece of cane is slightly different, so you have to look for the right shapes to match what you want, and you also have to accept that it's going to be a perfect imperfection.”
Spots are still available for this unique opportunity. To see more of Lalune’s work, visit La Lune Croker Art on Facebook or her website.
