This “tree of life” project now on the West side of the building The Creative Hub is created in honour of the old oak that died and had to be dropped.
In doing this I was also paying homage to so many people who had given me bits and pieces over the years. I got many trinkets and broken porcelain from Mandy Kriel, miss fired or broken ceramics from Heartworks Ceramics and Liesel Trautman Ceramics. There are Rivertime mugs painted by my late mother. It includes a broken mug commemorating my Everest base camp trip with my daughter in 2013 and sea glass collected on the West Coast. It includes broken plates, cups and jugs from our childhood and bits and pieces I have picked up on walks. What fun I had putting together this fun rustic piece and thank you to all who contributed to it.

Paulo Coehlo said something like repeating mistakes are no longer mistakes -they're decisions.

Put another way - they're habits.

If you aren't looking at Art most days, you've made the decision that Art is not an important part of your life. That's a habit that steals years of joy from your life. And maybe dozens of object of beauty from the world.

Art soothes and refreshes us if we'd just invite in!

And remember that imagining drawing something is 80% as effective as actually doing it.

Most of us spend most of our waking hours trying to manage stress when you could be spending much of that time basking in beauty.

🎨What is Monoprinting?

When compared to other printing methods, monoprinting is a better option to experiment with, as it is faster to do and not expensive if you want to try out different techniques.

From our teacher:-
“I prefer to work on lino that you use for linoprints. It's resilient it does not leave drawing marks and you can use it over and over.
We use a pencil to draw with.
I start off by using printers ink. Then I explain what other meduims can be used.”

What you will need to bring:
🎨An Apron
🎨Gloves if you do not want to get your hands stained with ink.
🎨Date: Saturday 1st April 2023
🎨Time : 9am
🎨Venue : Gouda Art Gallery
🎨Cost: R350 pp

It is a direct printing method no drawing skills are required. Just a willingness to experiment and have fun.
You will get lots of tips on how to experiment at home and to have fun with this unique art medium.
