 My "island" Cataneo theme for the week. I am using "island" as my 2016 yearlong project theme in a collaborative group.








Thea - Printmaking class (Basil Hall)




Blocks - Printmaking Class


Shibori - Mahdi Chandler's class

Frensham - the north-wing grounds.

 




The final evening "red" party. David, Alison & Basil.



What goes on at the summer school, stays at the summer school. And just as well judging by this photo that I took and I can't remember a thing about it. ;-)



 The start of the "red" evening. Drinks by the 200 year old tree.



 The oportunity doesn't come along very often so, whilst in the southern highlands I took some time out to visit my fathers grave in the Marist Brothers' Diamond Fields Road cemetery. An extraordinary & beautiful resting place.




 My father would have loved this grave stone.  A roughly hewn stone I designed for him.





 Such interesting patina on the old headstones. Celtic crosses, my favourites.











 I do hope I get the opportunity to teach here again.

The work produced by the class is exquisite (of course the tutor's is good too :)). I bet you were pleased with the results Gemma. Let me know if you ever decide to run with this as a distance paid course, I'll be in.

Hi Kate,

Yes, but in a reduced capacity. I only have two days with the CSV and this was a five day workshop residential so much work was achieved in and out of class hours.

I am teaching two workshops (1 x 2 day & 1 x 4 day) at Halls Gap in September not Cataneo something different. Here is the URL if you are interested.
