Bookbinding for Beginners Class (DATE CHANGE!)

I am teaching a bookbinding class Sunday 13th April in the brand new Art Room in Footsgray. We are going to make lots of awesome books. Come along! Below is the information for the class...

Book binding for Beginners will introduce students who have never had any previous experience in bookbinding the basic principles of binding. Students will bind their own beautiful sketchbooks and notebooks.

Each student will learn a variety of different Book Binding techniques and will come away with a range of books.

1 class
Sunday 13th April 11-4pm
$175 full fee or $160 student
includes light lunch
there is an additional $50 material fee which covers all materials needed for this workshop and will mean each student will come away with numerous books but also a basic bookbinding kit including bone folder, awl, needles so that they may continue on their own.

Dear Oma: A Story of Federation

I illustrated a children's book last year called Dear Oma: A Story of Federation, written by Jo Clyne for the History Teacher's association of Victoria. I thought I would share a few of the illustrations as it was such a lovely project to work on and I learnt a lot about Melbourne's history in the process!

We Came to the City... for Supergraph 2014

New Paintings

My new paintings travelled to Barham NSW for Wendy McDonald's open studio day a few weekends ago. Wendy took these beautiful photos of the work hanging in her gorgeous cottage studio. 

Recent Paintings

I have been painting lots of these little house paintings lately. These three are available through Kinder Gallery. They are 31 x 31cm, acrylic on linen, $380 each. 

Recent Works

I haven't making much work lately because I made a little person recently. Archer Stanley was born on 20th May and he's so lovely. We are enjoying getting to know each other and as he sleeps more I've slowly started to draw and paint a bit... Will keep you posted x

'Everything Familar Up Close' Exhibition Hang

I thought I would blog some photos of my works in situ at The Art Shop Gallery. The Art Shop and Gallery is a beautiful 16th century building that stands in the heart of the main street in Abergavenny Wales. I think the work looks really lovely in the space. The exhibition runs until 15th June if you find yourself in the area! x
