It was a great way for the school community to connect together and raise money for the school. There where home made cakes, sausage sizzles, clothing stalls, art and craft, bric a brac and best of all a real coffee. I had my delicate porcelain bowls for sale in the art craft stall which where popular. I was one of many people whom worked at the fete, though l diversified from my clay sculptures. It was the first time l had ever picked up an ice pick and chisels and l was full of excited/nervous anticipation. After Joe, the owner of Ice Art explained to me the fundamentals of what to do, l was let loose on a 130kg block of ice. I had drawn 3d pictures of the Koala so l knew what proportions l would need and this gave me visual guides to refer back too. I had to keep circling the sculpture while l worked so it would melt evenly, chipping away was very cathartic. After 2hrs l had completed my Koala, my hands where sore but there was immense satisfaction once finished. I would love to try it again.
