Bus Tour to the Hills

On a  cloudy warm day winters day, a group of artists and Friends of the Gallery had a delightful tour of ​through the beautiful hills. They visited Mclaren Vale's visitor centre viewing a joint exhibition, the Fleurieu Arthouse, and the  Dairy Studio/Gallery of artist Julie Garrard who gave a  watercolour demonstration of her sophisticated watercolour technique. After lunch at the newly renovated Beerenberg centre the group were taken on guided tour of Hans Heysen's home and studio The Cedars. They were all amazed by his art studio's architecture, high ceiling, massive windows and  natural light without any shadow. The guide  Mary certainly knew so much history of the place, her passionate story telling add a lot more interest to the visit. The trip home was full of conversation as the group enjoyed the glowing country view under the golden sunset light...

Wood Carving Workshop 

​Friends of the Gallery had a woodcarving workshop with our wood sculptor Chris Ried. Participants enjoyed the mild autumn weather as Chris taught the basics skills of relief carving. Everybody designed their own favourite pattern: butterfly, mushroom, leaves and seascape...

Our mosaic artist Cheryl taught participants the skills and techniques to make their own mosaic projects. After a very enjoyable workshop everyone went home with two coasters they had made.
