Jenni Kelly @ Biloela Workshops Successful


Funtastic Acrylics
with
Jenni Kelly
3rd,4th, 5th & 6th September, 2009
Proudly Funded & Supported by RADF.

This workshop with Jenni is to introduce fellow artists to some very creative ideas with acrylics. Be prepared to scrape, spray, fling, throw, roll and glaze PAINT, in other words "PLAY WITH ACRYLICS”, and leave the workshop with a greater understanding of acrylics and a new found confidence . Students enjoyed techniques with colorful subjects like parrots, flowers, water lilies, fish. The work will be very impressionistic to abstract -
Fun and Exciting.


Seven ladies enjoyed the Beginners Workshop with Jenni Kelly over two days they looked at techniques with Acrylics doing flowers the first day and waterlilies the second day.


Eleven ladies enjoyed Reefscapes & Rockscapes with Jenni Kelly the following two days of the workshop.

Dichroic Glass workshop (2)

Hi Everyone, A good time was had by all at the second Dichroic Glass workshop on July 25th. I was unable to attend but when I returned in the afternoon & I saw all the lovely pieces the ladies had made I was extremely envious. I will definately be doing the third workshop! October 25th is the date for the next workshop for beginners & Robyn thinks she will do the next advanced course in November sometime. I will advise Kym of the date soon. The Bluecare Respite Centre is as always a great place to have workshops & the next workshop will be there also. Please email me if you would like to do the class. I have nearly a full list for workshop 3 but lots of people dropped out of the last one & if anyone drops out of this one there will be places available. Email me on instyleshoes@bigpond.com if you would like to give it a go. I hope you're well, Happy Creating, Olley.
