Our guest teacher will be Lyla Kimble, brush up on your flat brush skills with this lovely design by Lyla. You may paint yours on anything you may have at home.

First meeting of the year! 2015

 

 

How exciting! Our projects for our Celebrity Cruse will be on display at our next meeting. looking forward to seeing all the workshop paintings on the day, sometimes no matter how good the printing is they can never be as good as seeing the real craftsmanship first hand.

 

I would like to say Thankyou to all our lovely teachers, without them and the hard work that Laraine organising the teachers and also the whole convention, we simply would not have a convention to go to.

 

If you are a member of Mountains and Rivers then the workshop will be $15.

We are always happy to have Guests at our meeting/workshops, the cost will be $20 for a Guest.

Our workshops are informative and fun especially with the variety of teachers we have, each one bringing their own style to teach eager students, we have around 25-30 ladies each meeting day.
If you are a teacher and would like to join us, maybe you would like to teach, contact Laraine.
If you are a painter or would like to learn some technique's, contact us at the address or email us, you can find both contacts details at our membership 2015 page.  

 

Meeting/Workshop is at the CWA rooms, Tindale street, Penrith, NSW.

Doors open at 12 noon. See you there! Lyn.
