20.01.2022 This weekend in The Melting Pot we’ll be looking at the point Sunday, 2-4pm, via Zoom. You’ll need something pointy. Actually, a lot of different pointy things. You’ll also need some paper, maybe even cut into the shape of a person. Or lots of paper people cut outs.

19.01.2022 last #artsforhealth session of the year. Looking into the new year...

18.01.2022 Today is the last day of Women's Health Week and the Dax Centre has just opened their Child and Mother exhibition, which includes some rather laboured works by Del Kathryn Barton, but also a huge collections of works by Patricia Stewart, which are much more illuminating of the mental health challenges of motherhood. The link includes a video that zooms past each work with the compulsory piano soundtrack but also a 360 framed virtual walk through where you can look more carefully (at some of the works, not all). https://www.daxcentre.org/exhibitions/childandmother/

17.01.2022 Today’s Melting Pot session was so lovely! I really enjoyed being with everyone, so many today! All our activities were outside my ‘normal’ range of art-making, so a good challenge to my learning. We looked at point (stabbing holes into paper!) and line (continuous contour drawing, without taking the pencil off the page) and we mapped out our own topography. So lovely to see everyone’s faces

17.01.2022 PLAYDOUGH! I’ve made a huge batch for tomorrow’s Melting Pot and I’m doing COVID-safe deliveries... DM if you’d like some dropped off, or make your own: 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 4tsp Cream of Tartar, (mix dry ingredients) then add 2tbs oil and 2 cups water. Mix together, then put over a Med-High flame and stir continuously as the mix starts to congeal. Like, mix the berjeebers out of it Scrape out of the pot, roll together into a lump, then put the lump in the microwave to finish cooking. When cool, add some food colouring! Melting Pot 2-4pm tomorrow!



15.01.2022 #amileintheirshoes #multiculturalfriendship "...Don’t find fault with the person that limps, Or stumbles along the road. Unless you have worn the shoes they wear, Or stumbled beneath the same load. ... There may be holes in the soles that hurt Though hidden away from view. The burden they bear placed on your back May cause you to stumble and fall, too." from Mary T. Lathrap, 1895, 'Judge Softly'. This wonderful group of shoes was drawn by members of the Multicultural Friendship Group, who meet on Wednesdays at Warragul Community House. The group meets every week, and they are beginning to work with art to express some of their stories, as part of the #livewellcomeshare project. They are Peter (England), Hedy (Egypt), Diana (PNG), Mary (South Sudan), Teresa (South Sudan), Ayda (Malaysia), Terri (Ireland), Noor (Iraq), Palmina (Italy) Roxanne (Iraq), Ying (China) and Derya (Turkey). In Baw Baw, the population is growing rapidly (one of the fastest LGAs in the state!) and many of our new neighbours are from diverse language and cultural backgrounds. How's your welcome?

15.01.2022 Happy Monday! I’m really looking forward to Sunday’s creativity exploration in Episode 2 of The Melting Pot... The theme is The Good Ship. 2-4pm, Sunday 20th September, via Zoom!

15.01.2022 This work came out of an #artsforhealth session where we spent time thinking about contentment. The ability to relax in the current moment without mentally striving to be somewhere else, without planning the next move, without creating strategies, without needing another thing or action. The state of being content is one of the most powerful mind-choices we can make. I choose to be content, how I am, where I am, who I am, in this moment... Stay in that contentment for a few minutes, notice your body still living, breathing, circulating blood and nutrients and oxygen. It will lower your blood pressure.

14.01.2022 The Melting Pot is back this weekend! I'm so excited to show you what I found in the pot for this session; the truths and bonuses of a great old adage (#mountainoutofamolehill ) and a wonderful Japanese artform that we'll look at and then do ourselves. 2-4pm, Sunday (22 November), in the Zoom Art Room. No need to book, no level of art skill necessary... You'll need - a black texta or marker or greylead pencils, paper, scissors, gluestick. Link in comments :-)

09.01.2022 Crabby felt much better after contemplating the #calmblueocean for a while #artsforhealth

09.01.2022 today trying soft pastels with an #artsforhealth client... we both found them super messy compared to paint! I’m not sure how pastel artists get used to the abrasive, sand-paper feel to using them. Gloves? Good to try something completely out of the comfort zone though.

09.01.2022 Dont forget it's YOUTH WEEK this week, and I'll be hosting a drawing session online 4-6pm for 10-17yo artists, giving tips and tricks on creating an original character in the style of Avatar: The Last Airbender... its FREE!

08.01.2022 I finished a little portrait this weekend, inspired in part by the Instagram posts of a local cook, gardener, & remote-learning expert. A Marist art-in-lockdown exercise was to mimic a famous artwork, portrayed expertly in this case by these two... COVID-Gothic: Gracie & Audrey where I hope I’ve come close to capturing their priceless expressions! To see Gippsland life lived to the full, check out @ten-ten-two-and-a-quarter over on Insta.

02.01.2022 Ursula Dubosarsky (Children's book author and multi-prize winner) says about her creative process: "I guess it’s like trying to find one thread among the big mass of confusion in the sewing box. You’re pulling it out, and getting stuck, abandoning that one and picking up another colour and pulling again And it’s not like when I pull the thread out it’s all plain sailing from there and off I go! The tugging continues for the whole process. And after it’s published you realise... there are bits you didn’t tug hard enough at. But at this point you don’t even really know what colour scheme it is. In terms of nerve it’s probably the most nerve-racking phase, isn’t it? You want to write it, and you sort of know you can, but you’re still tugging at everything. So it requires nerve, and just sticking at it: stamina." from today's article in The Saturday Paper https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au//ursul/161555400011259 See more
