Reminder: MTAS Monthly Demonstration Meeting

Joe Cartwright ‘Waterscape’ in Watercolours

This is a reminder for Joe Cartwright’s Demo, please register your attendance.

We are very lucky to have one of our brilliant members Joe Cartwright as our next demonstrating artist on Tuesday 10th August.

With the uncertainty of lock down and safety in NSW we have decided to deliver the coming meeting via Zoom only for August and hope that face to face can return for our September Meeting.

Since the start of the pandemic Joe has revolutionised how he teaches his classes using only Zoom now as his delivery method. He has honed his skills to be able to deliver to students not only in Australia, but all over the world, on a regular weekly basis. (For more info about Joe’s classes on his website you can click here)

Joe has very kindly agreed to give us the demo directly from his studio with his excellent setup via Zoom and we are excited to see this in action.

The demonstration will be at the same time as our Monthly Meeting would usually be – 10th of August at 7.30pm and go until approximately 9pm. We will have the usual few announcements at the start from Committee, Joe will demonstrate and people can also ask questions during and at the end of the demo.

Joe is exceptionally skilled in Watercolours and will be doing a ‘Waterscape’ for us on the night.

MTAS has decided to give this demonstration to members and their guests without the usual door entry fee of $5, so we need you to please register your attendance well in advance to be sent the link to your email to be able to attend and be admitted to the Zoom session.

You MUST register to attend by emailing  info [@] mtas.com.au

Please try to register by the end of August 8th so that we have time to send you out your link and we know who will be attending.

If you need assistance setting up Zoom on your computer or your mobile device you can also ask Satya on 0405 337 652.

For inquiries about this demonstration phone Annmaree 0429 234 873
Look forward to seeing you there!

Reminder: Celebrating FOHacaRG’s 32nd Anniversary
‘Quilt – Art: a new concept’ Exhibition
12th – 13th June 2021

Reminding all that members of the community are warmly welcomed to attend Friends of the Hawkesbury Art Community & Regional Gallery Inc Exhibition ‘Quilt – Art:  a new concept’ on 12th-13th June for an opportunity to view the talents of an unrecognised local textile artisan whose work will hang together with other artist’s images inspired by the colour palettes of the textiles.

North Richmond resident Mrs. Pauline Berry has generously agreed to the public showing of some of her favourite creations. The wall hangings and quilts are motivated by her love of Japanese fabric, and the challenge to span the gulf between the concept of Oriental & Western beauty.

Members of FOHacaRG will provide complimentary art works which will be available for sale on a “Cash & Carry” basis.

Open from 9am—3pm Saturday & Sunday the 12th & 13th, the exhibition will be displayed in the Stan Stevens Studio, The Deerubbin Centre, 300 George Street Windsor.

The Anniversary celebration is tomorrow Saturday, 12th June 2021. Opening drinks will be served at 11am.
