I’m making wreaths to celebrate winter solstice which falls on the 21st June. They are deliberately loose and messy, reminding me of wilderness. I’ll update as I decorate.

Creative communities bring people together.

From local markets and exhibitions to workshops, festivals, performances, and public art, creativity helps regional communities thrive.

Creative Riverina exists to support and celebrate the people making this happen across our region 🎨

The peaceful park - delightfully misleading! Sound maps are one of my favourite things to draw, puzzling out how to show bird sounds and then looking up how ornithologists describe them.

Ink and Quill workshop was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. It is so interesting to see how people explore and react to art materials new to them, in this case traditional feather quill pens and oak gall ink. Definitely no ai involved 😀
Thanks to for providing workshop space in this lovely old building, and for taking photos.

Last day to book in to the Ink & Quill Workshop this Sunday in Deniliquin.

While the focus is on Jane Austen's use of quill pen and making her oak gall ink recipe, many great scientists and artists used oak gall ink and quill pens; Shakespeare, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Isaac Newton, the list goes on.

Come and learn how to make this historic ink.

Pictured: Leonardo da Vinci's Study of Five Grotesque Heads and Drawing of a Botanical Study, both in oak gall ink.
