School Exhibition opens at Mt Perry Gallery


"The Outback in our Backyards"

The exhibition was curated by Madeline Zoe King, an artist who completed her teaching internship at the Mt Perry State School. Madeline used subjects from school curriculum to inspire the children to create artworks. These included acrylics on canvas, drawings on paper, and an installation of small 10cm x 10cm canvasses to create a 5m long snake along one wall.

The event was opened by the Mayor, Joy Jensen, and was a huge hit with parents and kids enjoying the afternoon.

Final printmaking workshop





On Saturday May 14 we all met again at the fantastic art space above BRAG with tutor Catherine McCue-Boes for a final day of collagraph printmakers.

We had adjusted plates, made new plates, and had an amazing day of learning techniques and pitfalls including some hilarious moments with gold leaf, some delightfully gentle moments with Craytex colouring (as applied by Rhonda, right), and with a lot less black-inked newsprint around the studio!! (you had to be there last time to believe it).


Above, tutor and Lloyd enjoy the reveal. This workshop was a final in a series of 3 co-funded by RADF and thank you to BRAG for the generous use of the press and the space.

The BRAG press is booked for June 1 for any Mt P members or Bundy printmakers who want to come and print their plates. I think we've got some printmakers amongst you...
