Abstract sculptural forms with practising artist Sylvia Sinel
Learn an array of construction techniques to build abstract sculptures

Sylvia uses an array of construction techniques to create her abstract forms, sometimes incorporating slab, coiling, pinching and wheel thrown aspects into one piece. She sometimes explores multi-media to decorate her works and dabbles outside the world of traditional glazing, using paints and other materials to achieve her desired surface finish. If you're looking to learn something completely new, you will benefit from Sylvia's non-traditional and interdisciplinary approach to pottery.

While this is primarily a hand-building class, Sylvia can help those who are proficient in wheel-throwing to incorporate thrown forms into their sculptures as well.

Clay and firing are not included in the class fees and are an extra cost. Clay can be purchased at the studio.

Your tutor:
Sylvia Sinel immigrated to New Zealand from Sweden 2013 and settled in Hamilton. Sylvia's interdisciplinary art practice spans over 35 years and her work can be found in many private collections worldwide. Sylvia is very much involved in the local art community and regularly teaches classes and workshops in various organisations. She was part of the start-up team at Gallery 9 on braid in 2022 and is also a member of the team at The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum.
