My very first exhibition and workshop!



Hello, I am having a solo exhibition next month! 
I am very excited! - and nervous.

There will be sculptures - big and small, mobiles, tablewares and my usual but all new and best bell and vase people. :)

People in Brisbane, I would love it if you could make it to the opening on 10th May Friday 6-8pm at paper boat press. Kylie's gallery is such a beautiful space with two large box windows, I am so grateful for this opportunity.... Thank you Kylie! Thank you Maria for introducing me to Kylie! Thank you Etsy so Maria found me! 

People in far away countries, ahh how I wish the world was smaller so you could just catch a bus to join me at the Opening drinks..!! :(
I will post photos of the exhibition space later for sure :)



There is also a workshop to work with me and Kylie on 2 Saturday afternoons. I look forward to meet you and share what I see and love in the process of making.... :)

Information sent out from Paper Boat Press :
In conjunction with this exhibition Erin will be conducting a very special workshop that will run over two consecutive Saturday afternoons (it is only ‘one workshop’, but spread out to be able to cover making and decoration). Kylie from paper boat press will be Erin’s offsider throughout, assisting in each workshop during the making and decorating process.
DATES
Saturday 11 MAY 2pm - 4.30pm concluding on the following Saturday 18 May again from 2pm - 4.30pm
WHERE
paper boat press – STUDIO (at rear of shop/gallery)
COST
The workshop is limited to only 10 participants and is $150. This includes materials and afternoon tea on both days. As there are only a limited number of spots available we are having a release time for tickets (available for purchase through the paper boat press bigcartel shop www.paperboatpress.bigcartel.com). These will go on sale at
9am MONDAY APRIL 29. If tickets sell out we are happy to take names for a waiting list in the event of cancelations, and if there is overwhelming requests we are planning on rerunning the workshops later in the year (August at this point)
ABOUT
At the workshop the first week you will be creating a small vessel and spoon of your very own… amongst other things. The following Saturday will be decorating and working on these dried pieces. As well there is time for drawing, exploring and working on not just the pieces but also the overall journey it takes to create work…
The works will be fired and glazed, yours to keep to be picked up from the gallery in the weeks after.
As Erin says: It is not so much as a ‘how to’ workshop, but somewhere where I can share my passion in the materials and the process of making, sharing what we discover together in the process’

Have a nice day!
Erin
