Pine Rivers Art Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM.

Saturday 3 October | Surface stories

Frottage is an artistic technique involving layering rubbings from textured surfaces - in fact, frottage is the French word for 'to rub.'

In the Tracing the Edges creative space, Lexie Able and Libby Harward invite you to use texture, shape, and surfaces to create layered compositions.

In this workshop, we will be inspired by Lexie and Libby, using frottage techniques to uncover your own surface story.

Saturday 17 October | Painting on fabric

This event is sold out.

Judy Watson’s use of soft washes and layered botanical pigments in kau in kau in blood blood reflects deep connections between material, memory, and Country.

In this workshop, we explore fabric as a surface for experimentation and expression.

Using a combination of natural and manmade pigments and dyes, participants will create gentle, marbled patterns on fabric. Paint and stain your own tote bag or tea towel, experimenting with colour, flow, and layering to produce unique, wearable artworks.
