Get hands-on with local artists and makers as they share their skills in relaxed, friendly workshops. Paint, weave, decorate ceramics or design your own jewellery, then take your creation home as a Bash keepsake.
What Is It
Mundi Masterpieces is where the creative side of the Bash lives. Set up in the Mundi Arts Hub in the South Plaza, it brings together local Broken Hill and outback artists running short, hands-on workshops across the week.
Some are free, some are paid, and most run more than once so you can fit one around your day. No experience needed for any of them, and there is something for every age from small kids through to grandparents.
You will leave with something you made yourself: a painted canvas, a pastel artwork of the Plains, a fired ceramic piece, a woven basket or a set of earrings.
Tuesday 18 August: 10am to 3pm
Wednesday 19 August: 10am to 3pm
Thursday 20 August: 10am to 3pm
Friday 21 August: 12pm to 3pm
Saturday 22 August: 12pm to 3pm
All workshops run from the Mundi Masterpieces Tent in the Mundi Arts Hub, South Plaza.
The WorkshopsCreate something special to take home. Decorate your own "Take a Sunset Home" timber plaque using laser cut timber and vibrant paint pens, or design two pairs of earrings from pre-cut acrylic and bamboo pieces. No experience needed. Just bring your creativity.
Local Broken Hill artist Jason McCarthur leads a painting workshop made especially for kids. Young artists are encouraged to paint something they love, with Jason on hand to help bring their ideas to life. Every participant receives a canvas board to create their own masterpiece and take it home.
Take inspiration from the Mundi Mundi landscape in this hands-on pastel workshop with local artist Susan Shiner. Explore pastel techniques and create your own artwork to take home as a reminder of the outback. No previous art experience necessary.
Paint your own design onto a pre-made ceramic cup, bowl, vase or plate. Your piece is taken into Broken Hill to be fired, then returned to the Mundi Arts Hub by Saturday 22 August for you to collect and take home.
