Back again for its second year the Seed Sculpture Symposium is transforming Hastings' Albert Square into a working hub for sculptors.
Running until Saturday, the event sees 10 local artists working with a variety of materials including timber, clay, recycled materials, stone carving, bronze and wood.
Each artist will
create a minimum of one piece of artwork during the four-day event working for a minimum of six hours on site each day.
Hastings Community Arts development manager Pitsch Leiser says the event is a great way to see the development of the sculptures and how a simple piece of material can turn into a work of art.
"It is enriching to see work as it is being developed, both for the community and the artists, so often we see a finished exhibition but are unaware of the intricacies of the process of creation. The SEED symposium gives the public the chance to get up close with how work is created over a number of days, ask questions and even watch for a few minutes or hours if you have the time."
