BUDDING artists are being given an opportunity to unleash their artistic side at an all-day sculpture workshop today.

Beatrice Hoffman, a sculptor and sculpture teacher originally from Germany, is opening her studio in Garford, near Abingdon, for an all-day workshop.

She said: “I only teach small groups of students because my studio at home is not that big, but I take on students with varying experience and skill because you then create an atmosphere where people learn from each other and get inspired by each other’s work.

“I have a lot of teaching materials in my studio, which will let people create animals, figures, and more abstract pieces.

“Teaching in this environment also really helps to bring out the confidence of some of the students and encourages them to learn from the others around them.”

Mrs Hoffman also runs workshops on Thursday mornings for adults and Sunday mornings for children and teenagers.
