Almost time to head off for France!

Only 11 days to go til I head off for my 4 day polymer clay workshop in the south of France- the five American tutors are all really well known and I can't wait to dive in! I'll be spending some time in Paris and also a few days with my cousin in Cannes but the highlight will be the 5 days spent in the tiny village of Luc sur Orbieau living with a French family and being inspired.
Since the exhibition I've been busy making orders for two shops on the South Coast of NSW who stock some of my work as well as doing some custom orders. I am also holding a one day workshop through the Brain Gym in Weston in late October- I will come back from France with a million ideas!

Luc-sur-Orbiere here I come!

On a whim, I've booked a place at a 4 day polymer clay workshop in the south of France in late September this year. It's a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the very best polymer clay artists in the business, I can't wait!

Exhibited at the Radford Art Show

I had the chance to exhibit several items at the annual Radford Art Show in May 2010, what a wonderful collection of paintings, ceramics and jewellery! Was lucky enough to sell a couple of pieces, was a little sad to see one of my favourites go (Where's Wally?) but no doubt it went to a good home!

Exhibition launch a great success!

Well over 100 guests attended our launch on April 12 and it was a fantastic evening! The exhibition space was full to capacity, the drinks flowed and two great young violinists from Marist College Canberra provided great background music. I sold a number of pieces on the night, it was very encouraging! We have had some terrific coverage in the local press, web and radio and this afternoon I'm doing an interview for a local arts radio station.
I'll have some pictures up soon, the space has to be seen to be believed. Shanna and I are already in early discussion about a showing in spring......
I'm also going to raffle a piece to raise money for the MS Mega Swim that will be held here in Canberra on May 1 and 2, a great event for a wonderful cause.
Thought I wouldn't even want to think about making things for ages but I came back from holiday with lots of new ideas.

The countdown....

Only just over three weeks to go before the launch and life is mad. Miguel, one of the three exhibiting artists, had bypass surgery last week but he was insistent that the exhibition go ahead with or without him. Hopefully he'll be well enough to make an appearance at the launch, fingers crossed. Meanwhile Shanna and I have our hands full with finalising the invitations, catering, publicity as well as finish our pieces. Did i say only 3 weeks to go? Better get back to work!

Amy and Libby's photos

Santo, Shanna and I organised for local photographers Amy and Libby to shoot some of our works for publicity material for our exhibition as well as for our blogs. They did a great job and we have many wonderful photos. Thanks girls, for your hard work! Amy and Libby can be contacted through my email.
