Silvio will again be demonstrating woodcarving at the Port Elliot Show.

Silvio took the stone sculptors to Wirrealpa Station via Blinman in the Flinders Ranges. It was a wonderful experience, especially for the newer members of the group, sourcing rock, carving and exchanging stories. All are eager to repeat the exercise in 2025. Silvio and a couple of colleagues also have work on display at the exhibition, “A Brush with Art”, in the Blinman Hall. Open daily 10am – 4pm until October 14th. Gold coin entry. Contact Karen: 08 8648 4874.

Silvio delivered a Possum to the Friends of the Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens and installed 28 small bronze sculptures along the Children’s Trail.

There will be many creative workshops during the 9 day event, and the SA Stone Sculptors will be carving at Crystal Lake Park. Silvio will be carving chocolate, supplied by MELBA’S OF WOODSIDE on Sunday 5th May.
