Woodworker
WORKSHOP STYLE
Engaging, instructive, revealing.
OLIVIA SAYS:
I love the process of making things with my hands that I know will last and I love sharing that passion with other people as well. I have a specialist degree from Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in prop making with wood, foam sculpting, model making and puppet creation. I find it really rewarding start on something from beginning to end and have that sense of accomplishment come through.
