Wood sculptor Shane Christensen will be making a return journey to Blackbutt this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (March 24-26) to create artworks for the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.<\/p>\n

Shane uses chainsaws, carving tools and an air brush to create unique wooden artworks.<\/p>\n

In addition to showing how he does this, he’ll also be happy to provide advice on tools, techniques and finishing to interested spectators.<\/p>\n

Shane will be carving a timber fence near the Roy Emerson Museum in Hart Street.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He’ll be hard at work from 8:00am to 4:00pm on all three days.<\/p>\n

Shane last visited Blackbutt in October last year, and his return visit has been funded by a grant from Regional Arts Australia as part of a project managed by the Bloomin\u2019 Beautiful Blackbutt Festival in partnership with Blackbutt Tourism and Heritage and the Taromeo Rural Fire Brigade.<\/p>\n

“The Blackbutt Festival Committee was successful in a funding application to engage Shane to create a public artwork on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail,” Blackbutt Avocado Festival chairman Jeff Connor said.<\/p>\n

“Shane will be adding a creative flair to Blackbutt’s current and future public infrastructure along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.<\/p>\n

“It is very exciting to have some great creative public art projects in Blackbutt, and we hope these are the first of many similar future projects.”<\/p>\n

More information about the weekend’s activities is available on the Bloomin Beautiful Blackbutt Facebook page<\/b><\/a>, or by phoning Jeff on 0448-946-702<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
