Semaphore Markets

I love encouraging the general community to get involved in art and most importantly - get their hands dirty!
This Sunday (Father's Day, incidentally) I'm heading to the monthly Semaphore Market at St. Bede's to do a community arts workshop/project.
10am-3pm @ St. Bede's 200 Military Road, Semaphore.
We'll be making clay tiles to go in their community garden (or you can come back next month and buy it instead!).
Come along if you want to make one or just have a wander in the market.

SALArama!

SALA is amazing. And it's here. So much to see, so little time!

Also, Westcare Karpandi are having an exhibition of work by people who come to/run the Community Arts Workshop or are involved with/supported by the centre. Check out the facebook events page and come on along! I'll be there Wednesday afternoons 12:30 - 3.

Happy SALA-ing!

all the bits in between

there's the flashy stuff - the exhibition opening where the wine gets imbibed, the friends applaud, the punters rush to buy all your work (okay, perhaps i'm exaggerating a little - they usually walk sedately).
AND there's the excitement of putting new work into shops and seeing the treasures gradually disperse to their new homes.
BUT!
what about all the in between days, weeks, months, where all the actual work gets done?
a little photo montage to celebrate these times.
