"Experimenting In Ceramics" Workshop
With Katherine Bodrog. (Katherine's Artworks in Photo)Since leaving Monto, Katherine has gained a vast knowledge on all aspects of her Artistic World!
Her love for ART has guided her in being bold enough to try different methods with materials & themes in her work.
Katherine loves what she does and very keen to share her experiences for Art with you.
I enjoyed the weekend workshop, 27th & 28th October, 2007 with the Monto Pottery Ladies and very keen to take on the the 3 different concepts with Ceramics, Katherine had to share with us at the workshop. I have some photo's to share, will download them soon.

Ringmaking for Beginners.
12 Students enjoyed 2 days of Silversmithing in Biloela with Flying Arts tutor Maurie Maunsell, 20th & 21st October, 2007. Maurie introduced the students to ringmaking and each student produced their very own piece of Jewellery.
This workshop gave students a basic introduction to ring making. Students were introduced to the use of tools and basic techniques such as sawing, filing, soldering, polishing, piercing and also the use of finding and forming metal. Workplace health and safety topics will emphasized. The course began at a basic level and progressed to more advanced forms, such as split shank rings and overlaid rings. These methods of fabrication are also relevant to the making of pendants, earrings and bracelets. Each student completed at least two pieces of sterling sliver jewellery. Well Done Everyone:)

Silk is a series of drawings, computer generated images and collages, experimenting with the subtle shapes, forms and colours of the silkworm and spun silk. The original drawings are simple but detailed with some generated and manipulated electronically by Helen to enhance their impact. The result is a body of work that portrays an emotional journal associated with a period of chronic pain Helen experienced as the result of a life-changing injury. Developing Silk was a form of relaxation and pain diversion for Helen. Because of the social taboos associated with public expression of pain or personal weakness, her responses were cocooned. Silk is her creative expression of those private emotions. Helen has a Diploma of Arts, (Visual Communication) from Queensland College of Art Griffith University and has worked in graphic design in Melbourne, Edinburgh, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Alice Springs and Toowoomba. She has been represented in over fifty galleries, in both commercial and competitive shows, and her work has been acquired for the Suncorp Art Collection (Suncorp Art Awards, 1987) and for the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery (Stanthorpe Art Festival, 1990). Helen has also had five solo exhibitions in Brisbane and South East Queensland (1993-2004).

Our guest artist this month, Bev . . .
Bev is a watercolourist from Emu Park.
She studies under the guidance of tutor Brian Kehoe, who we had the pleasure of meeting earlier this year. (Brian tutored us in a 1 day workshop in drawing 'unconventionally')
Bev showed us her beautiful watercolour paintings & we were blown away as she displayed them one after the other!
Thank you for sharing your works, Bev, with our group.
We look forward to having you visit us again soon :)
Sketch Day at 'Greycliffe Homestead'
What a great day we had yesterday at Greycliffe Homestead!
Our lovely ladies enjoyed the atmosphere of this historical building, stepping back in time to the late 1800's early 1900's.
Here are some photos which capture the 'essence' of living in that era on Greycliffe Homestead.
Our guide, Tina, from the Banana Shire Historical Committee was kind enough to show us through and provided us with interesting information on the Nott family who lived there.
What a fascinating place! A 'must see' if you are ever visiting our lovely town, Biloela :)
After the tour we enjoyed morning tea with our guest artist from Emu Park, Bev, showing us her beautiful watercolour paintings.
Then it was off to find the perfect spot for some serious sketching :)
