“Golden Opportunity” with various tutors

Cost: Half day members/non members $20/$25, full day $40/$50

There are many ways to bring a sparkle to your calligraphic work without using the lead based gesso from the medieval monasteries, or the ghastly glitter that children leave contaminating the carpet.

In this workshop, several of our members will share their favourite techniques with you, using a wide range of materials. We will also have sample packs of materials for you to add to your tool box, if needed, from several studio clearances over the last few years. If you have discovered any new techniques, or have a favourite medium, please bring to this session of sharing skills and media.

Ailsa will be coordinating this day so please contact her if you have any questions. email: ailsaf@iinet.net.au
