Wild masterclass at Cooroy Butter Factory

Two emerging Maleny based artists will host a shared exhibition, artist residency, and masterclass ’Let’s Play Wild’ at Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre.

The two artists, Ketakii Jewson-Brown and Laura Vecmane, are exploring the theme of playfulness and wildness in its many facets; the diverse roles of the feminine, the surrounding environment, and the many sensual experiences of daily life.

They are keen to present an inspiring selection of artworks in multiple media and kindle the creative spark in others.

While exploring the bountiful beauty of plants around, sharing, and celebrating connection to the natural world, the co-led ’Let’s Play Wild’ Masterclass on Saturday 17 April will offer an opportunity to participate in the process of creating sculptural body adornments from organic material.

The participants then will have an opportunity to have a portrait taken with their created artwork. Two portraits of each individual will be emailed to participants after the workshop (at no extra charge).

For more information, please visit www.butterfactoryartscentre.com.au and follow artists on social media – @lauravecmaneartist and @ketakii_darling

This project was made possible through funding from Sunshine Coast Council and The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF). The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
