Media Release

Posted on by Lorri Lambert Art and Therapy

Members of “M.A.S.H.” have enjoyed a most interesting term enjoying workshops with two professional artists.

In October we had two days in Tooleybuc with Ross Paterson demonstrating his pastel technique.

Renowned in all mediums, Ross has recently won an international watercolour exhibition overseas, and will return to us next year for a workshop on painting in oils.

Last weekend our tutor was Glenda Cornell from Numerka, whose current exhibition at the Shepparton Art Gallery  has been extremely successful in sales, and will continue until December 1st.

Our venue for this workshop was a plein air activity at the Swan Hill Pioneer Settlement in perfect weather complimented by the atmosphere of

laughing kookaburras, steam whistles, the occasional passing of the stagecoach and many interested visitors.

Members have greatly appreciated the continuing hospitality of Kathy and Peter at the Murray River Motel every Tuesday.

Our Christmas breakup will be at Java Spice on Tuesday,  December 3rd, and our last class for the year on the following Tuesday Dec. 10th.

Wild & Windy!

Posted on by Lorri Lambert Art and Therapy

Some of our artists braved the windy weather at Sunrise Rotary’s Melbourne Cup weekend market.

Judy, our brave leader tackled the job of putting up the marquee which did stay up despite our early concerns !

The display looked great and once again was a good opportunity to get together and promote our group.

Thanks to all who helped on the day!

Swan Hill Sunrise Rotary Club meets weekly for breakfast. The club has a focus on community involvement and supporting mental health and youth issues.
