WORKSHOPS

 


Note from workshop coordinator:

If you think you’ve made too many Christmas cards, I am sure Bill Crews’ organisation will be only too happy to have them for people who drop in there at Christmas. 

My church gives unused cards to the homeless people who come for their Christmas lunch, and are helped write and send the cards, maybe to a family member, just to let the family know that they are alive.

This is just one idea — nursing home patients are another group who are often forgotten.


STRETCH, TEXT, SURF
Nicoll Heaslip
17-18 March 2012 (Tentative Date)
10:00am–4:00pm
$130 for 2 day workshop - Members only

This workshop that takes a journey through preparing surfaces by stretching paper permanently over a canvas, and onto boards. We’ll look at ways of adding a background that can have the texture you desire using gesso and investigate different ways of adding colour and lettering onto it, considering the layout and design aspects.

Hopefully by the end of two days, you will have at least one finished piece!
