Aa is for art

I had my last session at in Footscray yesterday creating hot glue and flow acrylic paintings. I have been working there for 8 years and have met some amazing woman. I’m very excited to be starting a new art program next week at Sunrise through which is a social and wellbeing program for women, trans and gender diverse people with disabilities, chronic health conditions and mental health conditions.

Spooky skulls by my Emerging Artists group in years 7 & 8. I forgot to photograph the rest when they came out of the kiln, love the exposed brain.

It’s been awhile since I have run a Jesmonite class, always such a beautiful result. These lovelies were made by my woman in transitional housing group at in Footscray yesterday. I have been working there since 2018 running classes for current and past residents that have experienced homelessness mainly due to domestic violence, which is winding up at the end of this term due to funding cuts. Fortunately I have another gig lined up with a similar not for profit organisation but will be sad to say goodbye.

Dog spam alert. Someone has a new jumpsuit.

My Emerging Artists in grades 5,6 & year 7 created these fabulous oil paintings. First time for all of them using oil paint, it was a seriously messy few weeks but worth it.

Shibori indigo scarfs by my home schooled group have left the building.

My little artists in grades 2-4 are working on a set of 6 ceramic creatures, looking good.

Working on ceramic jewellery and ring trays and dip and crackers sets with one of my NDIS clients for her to sell at makers markets.

My studio manager Frankie had a trip to the groomer today, doesn’t she look smart in her new tie.

We made Shibori indigo dyed scarfs using up-cycled bed sheets yesterday with my woman in transitional housing group at in Footscray. Don’t they look fabulous.
