Southern blue-ringed octopus - Natural History & Ceramics Painting Masterclass - June 14
Please join us for an intimate and hands-on natural history and ceramics painting class where you will learn how to paint a Southern blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa) with underglazes (ie the “paints” applied under the glaze).
This masterclass is part of our series where a marine biologist/ecologist will be in attendance and in June we will be welcoming Dr. Alex Schnell to our Coconut Crab studio.
Alex is a distinguished comparative animal psychologist and National Geographic Explorer, renowned for her groundbreaking research in animal behaviour and psychology. Her expertise spans a wide array of species, from cephalopods and corvids to crocodiles, fish, and elephants, with a particular focus on marine life.
Through her research, Alex sheds light on the intricacies of animal cognition, fostering empathy and compassion that drive efforts to protect diverse species and their delicate ecosystems. Many of us will remember her from National Geographic’s “Secrets of the Octopus”, where she developed a very special bond with Scarlet, the female day octopus.
Given Alex’s deep knowledge about cephalopods, she will share wondrous stories of octopuses, including the highly venomous Southern blue-ringed octopus, which is commonly found here right here in Sydney.
Participants will be given one of Casa Adams signature medium platters bisqued, with the octopus already monoprinted and ready to be painted. During the class, Araceli will share all the tricks and techniques she has mastered over the 13 years + she has been making and painting ceramics. All materials, as well as a delicious morning tea, are included. The platters will be glazed and fired in the studio and ready for collection approximately one week after. No previous experience needed!
Timings: 9am to 12pm
Location: The class will take place at our award-winning studio the Coconut Crab in Dulwich Hill, Sydney. The address will be given to confirmed participants closer to the date
***If you’d like to paint the cuttlefish on a dinner plate instead, there is an additional charge of $25. Just add this class to your cart and then add Dinner plate option for painting class to your cart as well.***
