                             “Dilly Bag” Workshop
            Introduction to Weaving Techniques
      Traditionally, dilly bags are produced by the Aboriginal
      people. The bags are mainly designed and used by
      women to gather food and are most commonly found in
      the northern parts of Australia. The baskets we are
      making in this workshop are a loose interpretation of a
      dilly bag and use various weaving techniques.

      Linda Coomber’s basketry workshop is suitable for
      beginners. Linda will guide you through, in step-by-step
      detail, the creation of a spiral weave basket. All the
      techniques used in this basketry workshop form the basis
      for making any round basket, and should inspire
      confidence in making baskets on a round reed base.
      Materials used will be traditional and non-traditional,
      including natural fibres and twines.
      All weaving materials supplied.

             This class is for all students of this most
               interesting and demanding medium.
Whether you are used to painting with transparent watercolours or
you are tempted to try something challenging but very rewarding as a
painting medium; you are welcome to join our mixed class of
beginners and practiced painters.
Watercolour is a very tactical way of composing and painting a
picture no matter what the subject, with a lot to consider before
you put brush and colour to paper.
Choosing your paper and brushes, using mediums like masking fluid,
learning to isolate your wet and dry areas, laying down washes and
learning to compose your picture. These are all steps in discovering
the unique medium of Watercolour.
A materials list will be sent on enrolment

David is a well known artist and teacher whose experience covers many genres.
He acknowledges that we all have preferred or favourite mediums and these may
change over time. He has his own two favourites of which, one is pastels.
He says that the immediacy of Pastels for drawing and sketching, along with the
huge colour range, makes it a very versatile and fun medium.
      Soft Pastels are a wonderful, practical way of understanding
         colours and how they work together to create effects.
In the class sessions we will learn about: colour theory and what complementary,
tint, monochromatic, tone, shade, analogous and other terms mean in a practical
sense. We will also learn: pointillist styles, blending colours, smudging and
use of the paper’s textures to enhance your work before finally fixing the pastel
and optimising the composition by using coloured mats and framing to present
your work.
 For the more experienced students: The essential qualities of pastels as a basic
 sketching tool like charcoal, is always there as a method to practice eye, hand
 and brain coordination... and practice makes perfect!

                                             Collagraphs are inexpensive, expressive prints made from collages built

                                             Collagraphs can be printed intaglio or in relief (or a combination of both!).

                                    DRYPOINT on ALUMINIUM
                               In this class we will explore the process of Drypoint on relatively
                               inexpensive aluminium plates. You will learn the step-by-step process
                               of preparing the plates, how to apply your drawing to the plate and
                               how to achieve different marks, lines and tones to your image.
                               We will explore the intaglio technique of making coloured prints by
                               applying different ink colours to a single printing plate known as
                               a la poupee.
                               Throughout the class you will have the opportunity to print your images using an
                               etching press. We will also discuss how your aluminium plate can be developed even
                               further in the future, using a simple aluminium etching process.
                                A materials list will be sent on enrolment
