Art Classes in Khandallah
Make beautiful prints from your favourite NZ leaves without the need for a printing press. That's one of three techniques I teach in this Gelli-Plate Monoprinting workshop at my Khandallah studio. I have one place left for the workshop on 15th August - get in quick and it's yours. This workshop will show you the techniques you will need to make a range of mono prints using the latest synthetic gelatin plates from Gelli Arts. It's suitable for complete beginners as well as people experiences in printmaking. Using a variety of stencils, masks, stamps (some commercial, some home-made), and pressed leaves you will work with GOLDEN’s OPEN Acrylics to make your multi-layered prints without a printing press. You can then take them a stage further using High Flow paint in paint pens or with brushes. These prints make beautiful art works in their own right and are also ideal for use in collage, scrapbooking and greeting card making. Gelli prints can also be incorporated in layers into your regular paintings – the possibilities are endless! In creating several small art works on paper, you will learn about working with transparent and opaque paints and the outcomes of layered colour mixing. You will also use iridescent colours for some special effects. My studio is in Jubilee Rd, Khandallah, the day runs from 10am - 3.30pm and the cost is $140, with all materials and refreshments provided. Get in touch for more info.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
