CFW Community Talks Series - An evening with Hape Kiddle - Recording Available
Helen Gerry
Hape gave an inspirational Community Talk at the school on a very stormy 11th July. The recording from the talk is below. Thanks to Karissa on our full-time FMP for doing the recording!
From Hape:
“As a sculptor and jeweller I have been working for many years refining a language in shape and form that reflects my deep connection to the natural world. Our relationship to it is at the heart of all my enquiries and my work is a reflection on the spiritual connection humans have to all of ecology.
My work demonstrates the development of this language through the mediums of wood, stone
and precious metals.
For more than a decade I have also shared my love of making things by hand. There is a slowing down and reconnection to self that happens in this process that is something that really resonates for my students.”
There are still spots left in Hape’s “Carve a Netsuke Fish” course.
