Printmaking in the ART BOX at Wooli


I am offering another free workshop at Wooli on Saturday afternoon,
in the Art Box.
We will be getting all painty making trifold prints.
So dont wear your good clothes.


We will be creating monoprints  on a gelatin plate using child safe acrylic paints 
and layering different colours on top of each other
 to create colourful and unique pieces. 


The gelatin plate lends itself to creative experimentation and play
and along the way we will be learning about 
positive and negative prints as well as ghost prints.


The space inside the box is set up perfectly for a friendly little group 
and  it is situated right on the river at Wooli at the skate park.
We start at 3:30 and I would love to see you there.

Out of the Box Eyes Wide Clarence Valley



 There is a fantastic project running in the Clarence Valley for the local young people it is called Eyes Wide Clarence Valley and is run through the local council with federal funding.

For a full program and information about all the great things happening with Eyes Wide visit their page on the CVC website   where you will see the huge array of workshops and events on offer, all free to the community.

The workshop spaces are in 3 converted shipping containers, the CAFE box- offers a great value menu , the Tech box- offering computer based workshops including digital photography, film making, sound and audio, photoshop and minecraft and the Art box- the one I share my skills and enthusiasm in along with many other local professional artists. 
Most workshops run for 2 hours and are for youth aged 12 to 18 although other age groups are also looked after in the school holidays and all of these workshops are offered free.

I am offering workshops in ATC's- Artist Trading Cards, hand made stamps , printmaking and  art doll making in the  Funky Felt Mini Me workshop.

The Box's are mobile and move around the Clarence Valley so you will find them in different places at different times, in Grafton, Yamba, Coutts Crossing, Copmanhurst and Wooli, keep en eye on your local shop for posters or sign up at the Eyes Wide facebook page to know what is happening and where, but there are also lots of great competitions, movie screenings, special events and fun.
