25.01.2022 Wow! The last 7 weeks have flown! We are in our final week of a wonderful term. Our classes have been smaller & we have changed the way our studio work flows to adjust to the new normal. We have welcomed enthusiastic students to join us and start on their path of learning. It seems lock down has gotten many of us thinking about how we want to spend our time. Creativity and learning new skills are ranking highly . We couldnt agree more and are so grateful for our workshop sanctuary at SquarePeg . Come join us for some studio catch up this Sunday with Elizabeth Mitchell Metal by Mitch . Our upcoming 7-week term commences next week and a few final places remain in our Atelier daytime class - find out more or join us by following the link in our comments below

19.01.2022 This week especially, & every week, we acknowledge the Gadigal and Wangal peoples of the Eora nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We acknowledge that this land has long been a place of teaching, learning, and creating. . Sovereignty never ceded. We are honoured to re-post and share this beautiful work and below words by ...the talented @raechelsaunders with her permission This beautiful painting called Connected shows us that just as fire, water, the forest, the sunset, the rainbow, all have a part to play in our world ( as represented by the colourful circle designs ) So do we. We should remember we are all connected and have special gifts to offer that come together to make something beautiful. Recognising National Reconciliation Week and its theme of In This Together I think the painting captures that essence. We dont have to be separated and misunderstood. By connecting with each other, learning, sharing, beautiful things come. My painting Connected hangs in @black_door_gallery in Penrith. An Aboriginal Business that provides Custom picture framing and has a beautiful Aboriginal Art Gallery that features some of my favourite Indigenous Artists here on Instagram and more.

09.01.2022 Introducing our current Graduate Resident - @studio.aris - so wonderful having you with us at the Peg - so sorry wee didnt say so sooner! Aris commenced his residency with us in June. Read on and scroll through to discover more about Ariss gorgeous work. And be sure to follow him here on Insta! . ARIS IOANNOU-MARSH is a Sydney-based designer and maker working across the disciplines of jewellery, interiors, ceramics, photography and installation. Through material explorati...ons of form and texture, Ioannou-Marshs work explores the body and its relationship to structure through scale. With an early exposure to the worlds of architecture and fine art, Ioannou-Marshs work continues to be informed by the built world around him, and its contrasting influence provided from nature. Sculptural structures are played against organic textures to explore the strength and beauty of one another. Ioannou-Marsh creates objects which are designed to relate directly to their user, and are designed to change with wear over time. His work is imbued with a narrative discourse on this bilateral relationship between object and wearer. Aris Ioannou-Marsh completed a Bachelor of Design at UNSW Art & Design and his work has been exhibited in a number of group exhibitions as well as being featured in online publications. . #jewelleryartist #emergingartist #contemporaryjewellery #sydneycontemporaryjewellery #bijoucontemporain @ SquarePeg Studios See more

07.01.2022 Here is another beautiful work! This gorgeous braclet was made by @co.yuuu last term in our Beginners Class. Read below to learn more of the special story behind this piece . Cong carved the charms in her own time and focussed on chain making in class. Well done Cong! We love your work! My grandfather is a legend. Hes the smartest person Ive ever seen, and a family man with love deeply engraved in his heart. When I was a little one I remember grandpa can repair almos...t everything, from kids toys to household appliances, he has magic, I suppose. He passes his passion of handcraft with an eye for details to my dad and me. I made this chain bracelet with charms to celebrate grandfathers life and the culture where I rooted. The charms are inspired by the shape of Nverhongs(a type of Chinese yellow wine, loosely translated as Daughter in Red) jars. Grandpa was born in Zhejiang province, it happens in Zhejiang that traditionally Nverhong would be kept buried until daughters wedding. Grandpa brought 3 bottle when I was born, one to celebrate when I get into college, one for my wedding, and one for my childs birth. Unfortunately he left us before we open the first bottle. Time flies. Now Im thousands miles away from my wine and family, unsure about future and lots of things, but I know hes with me every time I pick up a tool or sign on the dotted line. See more
