Lowood opens the door to art creativity
LOWOOD Open Door Gallery had an exciting day of creativity and community on May 8, as it held its ‘Let’s Make Art’ workshops.
The day offered locals a chance to come together to participate in one of three art workshops, while getting together over lunch to share their creative experiences.
Three tutors shared their knowledge and experiences in their chosen medium, with Cassandra Hodgins leading the watercolour workshop, Karen Leahy focusing on pastel, and Marita Reynold teaching coloured pencil techniques. Each participant showed their unique style, with all materials and tuition having been provided to complete the image presented.
Somerset Councillor Sally Jess also showed her support for the workshop day. Three Fernvale artists and Somerset Art Society members partnered with the Lowood Lions/Lowood Open Door Gallery to host the event, also catering for lunch.
The day was subsidised by funding from the Regional Arts Development Fund, a grant supported by the State Government and Somerset Council.
