Art matters: Art @ Farm House

Have you been creating art on your own at home?

Do you crave some face-to-face social contact with like-minded creatives?

Classes at the Hamilton Road Studio have been held online using Zoom. These were more successful than I had anticipated, and those who attended coped really well.

But… we all missed the social camaraderie we enjoyed in the physical Studio. Trying to find a way to reopen the Hamilton Road Studio safely under the current restrictions has been an ongoing dilemma for me.

Now, through the generosity of Amanda from Farm House Kedron we have a wonderful solution. She has offered us the use of the Farm House Kedron Café on Thursdays.

While you create ,you can enjoy a glass of wine or nibble on a cheese platter; and most importantly catch up with old friends. As an extra bonus you can make some new ones.

What to bring...

The materials should be whatever you have on hand – keep it simple.

A few suggestions:

• Drawing paper – loose sheets or a sketchbook

• Drawing tools: Pencils, pens, either fine liners, fountain pens or ballpoint pend, markers, or pencil crayons – these can be watercolour pencil crayons or standard pencils.

• If you have a set of watercolours you use for urban sketching this would be useful.

• A drawing board – the tables are fairly rustic.

There will be large tables, but no easels and you would need to bring your own art supplies but I will have a few basics, extra watercolour palettes, brushes and watercolour paper for you to use if you don’t have your own.
