				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are still a limited number of places available if you would like to join Nick and award winning wildlife photographer Nick Garbutt on a bespoke workshop safari in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, one of Africa’s finest wildlife areas, in December 2013. Combining morning and afternoon game drives (when light conditions and wildlife activity are at their best) with practical demonstrations and tuition in field sketching, sculpture and photography, the aim will be to inspire participants towards a new appreciation of wildlife and help them translate what they see in the field into photos and field sketches and then finally into finished pieces of photographic or three-dimensional art. For full details, pricing and booking information please <a href="http://clayanimalsculptures.co.uk/contact">contact the studio</a>.</p>
