Are you looking to dive into a new art form? Join artist Neil Elliott in this woodworking and welding sculpture workshop in Perth and learn the skills to become your own favourite artist!
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you will be guided through the experience by expert sculptor and artist Neil. Beginning with a safety briefing, you will then familiarise yourself with the tools you'll use to create your own sculpture from recycled materials.
You'll learn how to design a sculpture from scratch with recycled objects as inspiration and focal point of the art piece too! You'll then get the chance to unleash your creativity and get hands-on practising the basic skills to create your own masterpiece with guidance from Neil.
Bring along your favourite recycled materials to the class (wood and metals) and Neil will guide you through creating your own sculpture that will be yours to keep at the end. The more materials you bring the better!
If you're looking for fun things to do in Perth or unique gift experiences for a hands-on friend, then this class might be just what you're after!

(Neil Elliot)


Originally from Adelaide, Neil moved to Perth with his family in 1978, at the age 14. After leaving high school in 1980 he studied graphic design at Perth Technical College where he developed his drawing and painting skills. In 1990 he established a business as a cartoonist/illustrator in Subiaco.
Although highly successful he constantly explored and expanded his boundaries, training in numerous fine art mediums, including but not exclusive to, printmaking, photography, painting, life drawing and mixed media.
With his ability to merge the technical world of design with the emotive and often sensitive world of visual art, then mix in his prime objective to explore and have fun, Neil has created a distinctive and quirky, thought-provoking style. "By constantly experimenting and introducing new mediums, I am able to maintain passion and excitement towards my work."
In 2010 Neil started to explore the world of sculpture as it seemed to be a natural progression from his highly textured paintings. He has enjoyed success in this field and continues to adopt new mediums as both a painter and sculptor.
