NEWS from Lisa: Marching into April

March has been another mammoth month of exhibitions and mindful making. First off with the wonderful On The Edge: Species at Risk exhibition at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney and then with the exhibition of my work in the Winmark Art Gallery at Winmark Wines in Broke, NSW. What an inspiring place, full of large impressive sculptures scattered amongst the fields, vines and beautiful residences. Winmark Gallery has a courtyard and coffee cart next to the cellar door where I was more than happy to taste the trademark Winmark chardonnays. 

Big thanks to Karin Adcock, the very generous and hospitable owner, for hosting and accommodating me in the beautiful Winmark Wines Residence overnight. Can’t wait to go back! Learn more about Winmark Wines here.

More Totem Workshops: Another 3 week totem workshop (with more to come) has again proven to be a great way to learn about and experiment with elements and principles of design such as colour, texture, composition and form while at the same time using different kinds of glazing and hand-building techniques.
