Currently I am busy making sculptures for the Biennial Gasworks Artists Exhibition. The show curator is Rebecca Coates whom is working collaboratively with us to create an exhibition that explores responses to water, both in a micro and macro scale. The show opens on Thursday September 10th from 6 till 8pm and runs through until the 27th of September. Gallery hours are 11am until 5pm each day at the Gasworks Arts Park Theatre: 21 Graham Street, Albert Park. Below is a picture of me busy finishing off a large sculpture for the exhibition.

The next Gasworks Open Studios are to be held on October 1st from 5 until 6.30pm. My Ceramic Studio will be open as well as Visual Arts and the Sculpture Studios. Grab a glass of wine and wonder through the park from studio to studio viewing and speaking to the fifteen artists about their work and current practice. This is always a fun and informative event and well worth a visit. Hope to see you there.

The Gasworks Arts Park held its annual 'Story Festival' on September 12th. It was a fantastic event although a tad windy. I ran a 'play with clay' workshop which over two hundred children took part in, making fantastic clay creations they could paint and take home.

I spent most of first term this year as the artist in residence at the Brunswick North Primary School. Along with students and members of the school community we created a ceramic mural titled "One History-Many Cultures".  The work used themes incorporating the rich history of the area including that of the Indigenous people, its cultural diversity and life in Brunswick today. The end result is over two hundred and twenty wonderful tiles illustrating the ideas the students came up with. My thanks to all those that  supported the murals creation especially to Bill Gribben the art teacher, members of the organizing Committee, parents and friends of the school and the Principle Sonia Abdallah. Here is a picture of some of the fired tiles.
