I am part of Open Studios Latrobe on the weekend of 26 & 27 March, with 18 artists across 5 towns in the Latrobe Valley. Each artist will be demonstrating their skills in a studio situation - plus exhibitions in the larger venues that build the experience of a driving tour of Gippsland. Open Studios hours are 10 - 4 both days and one ticket price of $5.00 will cover your entrance to all participating studios over the weekend. Please download the summary of artists (front) and the touring map (back)
I will be one the Creatives on site during the Creative Harvest Festival of edible gardens. With my little etching press I will be demonstrating 'nature printing' onto paper. I directly use botanical samples to create impressions of the plant, great detail can be achieved with ink and paper. Some of the plants I will be working with are from my host Adele's garden. Called 'Darna' this wonderful two and half acre garden is located at Darnum, in West Gippsland. I will have many prints, greeting cards and other gift items on display and for sale.
