Collograph workshop

Here is a workshop I heard about that might be of interest for anyone who wants to try this collage based printmaking technique. Not exactly drawing but might be fun anyway.

Week 6. Final week (for now)

Dear friends,

We will continue and deepen our exploration of drawing next week on Tuesday evening at the Buzzbar cafe (349 King Street Newtown) at 7pm.

We'll be focussing on collaboration and exploring how it can release the drawing monster- put us in an appreciative and less judgemental mode. Don't miss this one- its also the anniversary of a collaborative project- the practise known as 'Di Di Di Di'. It can't be explained, but has to be experienced- so come along and discover it.

'Fieldwork', going into the streets to draw, will remain an integral part of the evening.

See you there for the final week of this course.

Some bits and bobs...

Thanks for a class last week. Here are some events coming up that I thought might be of interest to people.

National Art School winter workshops, intensives on drawing, painting, printmaking that run between 13-17 July. Program here (pdf)

UTS Gallery has an exhibition opening this week called 'URBAN FUTURES: Ideas of the City':

Through intricate three-dimensional models, drawings and large-scale prints, architects and their advanced level students from the Architectural Association, London push architecture’s capacity to respond to the challenges set by global capitalism and climate change

There will be a symposium, and a couple of free lunchtime talks asspciated with the exhibition. Check the website for details.

WEEK 5

Tuesday 14th of April we will be meeting at Gallery 41, where one of our dear students is holding an exhibition. This week we will be focusing on light and shadow. Please bring an eraser, pencils, charcoals if you want, your drawing pad, and any other tool able to make marks that seduces you.

Like usual, 7 pm sharp. The address is 41 Riley St Woolloomooloo. For the second part of the class we'll explore this very interesting territory of the city.

BUZZBAR CAFE - NEWTOWN

Another nice place to be having a drink at or to go for a drawing class!

Few pics to give you the atmosphere of this last class. Enrique was teaching solo and made us do some very interesting exercises...

Drawing blind the line of our hand... I just find Caitlin's lines amazing. Looks deep, wide, sweet and so many different paths to

go into!

Two drawings from the "Dee dee dee" exercise that the class seem to become familiar with and enjoy it.

End of the class, relaxing time, talk, share around a glass of wine (or a cup of tea).

Thanks once again.
