Clay Sausage Dog and friends Workshop

Make your own clay sausage dog with artist Karima Baadilla!

An award-winning multi-disciplinary artist, Karima uses painting and ceramics to explore the emotional and psychological aspects of a person’s life. Her work is informed by her own personal quest to find her place in the world as a woman and a migrant settler in Australia. In this workshop, Karima will guide you on how to hand-build a clay sausage dog and an additional accessory or friend, which you will then paint with various colours, and be able to take home with you.

The workshop coincides with the ‘Marvellous Mythical Mates: A Menagerie of Dream Pets' exhibition, a dedicated children's show by Vipoo Srivilasa that explores the theme of belonging.
