Are you interested in Mosaic?
Are you interested in Mosaic?
This two-day workshop about learning and understanding the art of mosaic will be held at the Kinglake West Uniting Church in September.
Mosaic is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It may be a technique of decorative art, an aspect of interior decoration, or of cultural and spiritual significance. (Wikipedia).
Perhaps many who have lost homes in the fire regions were able to recover pieces of memorabilia from home sites and are not quite sure how to preserve them. Mosaic may well be the answer. Creating a very special art piece that can be placed in a new home that brings both the old and the new into harmony may help to bring about a sense of connection to the old and the new.
Mrs Barbara Ramage and Mrs Lorraine Ralston will facilitate Working with Mosaic. Both are experienced craftswomen who will demonstrate and teach participants the foundation of this art form.
The workshop is sponsored by Unitingcare Bush Fire Recovery and co-facilitated by Bette Phillips, Creative Ministries Network.
The workshop is of no cost to participants; however, bookings are essential, as numbers are limited to ensure each individual will have the experience of learning the craft.
Please bring a plate to share for lunch both days.
For further information please contact Bette Phillips

Bringing It Together - 25 July 2010
Where will "Dale" show up next???
Saturday was rainy, cold.
Five of us were brave and bold.
Got to Burgo’s shed and met
our fellow chain saw suffragettes.
Roaring fire warmed us up.
Put some coffee in a cup.
Bolt down coffee. Let’s begin.
Don’t touch chainsaws, just tune in.
Peter Auty gives his pearls
of wisdom for the chain saw girls.
“Safety, safety, safety first.
Those who are not safe are cursed”.
Next, we pull the saw apart,
before we even make it start.!!!!!
I think: “Now Pete don’t push your luck,
cause my mechanic’s skills, they suck”
I think: “It’s going to take forever
to put the beggar back together”
But smooth as silk our Pete explained
the mystery of the saw unchained.
We gave our saws a healthy cleaning.
Give their workings some vague meaning.
Identified the parts and then
put them back together again.
Bits left over? No.!!! Surprise.!!!
Learnt more than I realized.!!
Then with our files we learned a thing
or two about chain sharpening.
I’m a chain saw devotee.
I’ll chain saw everything I see.
(Joke there, Pete) I won’t abuse it.
First I have to learn to use it.!!!!!
That’s why I’m going back next week.
(I’m going to be a chainsaw freak)
And shout until I’m bloody hoarse,
how great is the girl’s chainsaw course?
I like chain saws, yes sir-eeee.
Chain saws are the tool for me.
