Winter is here ...

And the Winter Weekends crew is making it extra special. Glyph Gallery & Creative Space has three offerings over this long weekend: a late-night opening, with mulled wine, on Friday, 6 June. Wine available between 5pm and 7.30pm. On Saturday, 7 June at 4pm, there's an exhibition launch of Brett Jarrett's stunning Birds of The Southwest exhibition . Brett will also be speaking about his work and lifetime painting the planet's natural wonders, and we'll have drinks and nibbles available. (Please RSVP.) And over the weekend there's also a woodblock printing course with legendary Castlemaine printmaker David Frazer (currently booked out, but there is a waiting list). Go to our activities page for more information on any / all of the above! Above all, enjoy the long wintery weekend!

New Ceramics Workshops

There's a new course of the hugely popular ceramics classes with Port Fairy's best-loved ceramicist, Meg Finnegan, starting this week. They are held either Tuesday afternoons for six weeks, or Wednesday mornings for six weeks. You can select the session time that suits you best. Free-form fun with the option of using a variety of clays, techniques, including wheel-thrown, and all works can and will be glazed and fired. A great way to get started for beginners, or for people who want to revive old skills! Bookings through our 'Activities & Events' page.

"Synergy" exhibition - collection of artworks - and our next exhibition.

Thank you to all our members and other artists who submitted artworks for our annual community exhibition. We have had great feedback from the many locals and visitors who came through the gallery and several sales. Buyers and artists are asked to please collect their artworks between 10.00am Sunday 2nd February and 4.00pm Tuesday 4th February. If you are unable to collect your artworks between these times, please contact the exhibition committee (exhibitions@swmakers.com.au) to make alternative arrangements.

Our next exhibition is "Etched in Memory", paintings by Leanne Onley, from the Grampians region. The opening of that exhibition will be Thursday 6th February at 6.00pm. We encourage all members and the wider community to come along and support Leanne, especially since the tragic and worrying bushfires and evacuations over the summer season.
