Helen Britton, an outstanding WA jewellery artist who is now based in Munich, is one of 7 makers that will offer
workshops in the program. Her workshop, (Why - Where - with What Materials - and How on 6, 7, 8 April,)
is designed to create works that relate to place and to transform found jewellery. Her talk should expand upon

Work in progress by Susan Flavell
MHF Project#14
Susan Flavell is a talented WA sculptor whose work, often deals with animals or creatures including the real, the hybrid,
the fantastic and even the monstrous. Known for her series of large cardboard creatures, she also works in cast bronze,
including public art works. In this exhibition the focus is on domestic and mythic imagery and a new direction - exploiting
ceramic techniques to create a dialogue between the form of the work and the surface.
The MHF is the premier visual art patronage association based in WA which has generated close to $1 million in artist
commissions since 1991, supporting artists by a subscription program.
The Mark Howlett Foundation commission gives the artist freedom to experiment with various threads of their practice
and in Susan’s case, translate ideas across materials from drawing to cardboard to ceramics sculpture, incorporating
ideas of drawing and the figurine.
View Friday 7 May - Sat 29 May, weekdays 10-4.4.5 and Sat 2-4.45
