Forest of Tranquility - Shona Wilson Workshop - Creations by Jan with Antarctic Beech - After the Storm they could be anywhere!

Morning Tea - Emilia Krumm's healthy creations




Jan Sheddon's beautiful Creations. 

Luckily I took some photos on the iPad. Jan's borrowed camera was playing up! By Monday the little purple seeds would wash miles away with the huge storm.

Ephemeral Artwork - this one didn't last long but we have photographs.  The moral to remember " never borrow a friend's camera without detailed instructions!"

Jan selected the White Beech fruit. They don't taste any good to humans but birds love them.  This tree is very old and has survived in the protected gully against the northward drift of Australia. A survivor of a changing climate.  It prefers cool rainforest.

Below is the creative work of another artist.  She used Lilly Pilly seeds and Bangalow Palm red seeds.

Irene Anton Recycled Artwork - Three Part Harmony

It's been a great month.

We had a small but beautiful jam last melting pot before the Hi Tea.

Irene Anton is visiting from Germany and visitors to the Forest of Tranquility got to meet her up close over a Hi Tea and ask questions about her processes and work.

Irene was hosted at Whistle Hill Studios whilst creating artwork for Sculpture on the Green, Forest of Tranquility and preparing for her installation at Scenic World. You may have seen the write up in the Sydney Morning Herald's Good Weekend Magazine. We had a lot of fun creating.

24 April Hi Tea will have another guest Artist Talk where you can meet another artist up close and ask questions about processes and work. I will be popping in to play a few songs.

Email me at whistlehillstudios@gmail.com if you have some beautiful music you would like to play at our next melting pot jam.




Saturday - Shona's workshop - Collaborations with Nature happens. Two spaces left.
