.... that we teach screenprinting workshops for adults too! There is one coming up on Sunday June 3 (11am - 4pm). We have such a great time chatting and drinking tea while we print up designs on organic hemp/cotton fabric.... (plus the little lunch we have at My Friend Louis is always a highlight).
If you are free that Sunday then book in here! Limited places available.
My daughter Lily hung around with me on Saturday afternoon until it turned into Saturday evening, helping me hang all of the children's artworks for the Mothers Day Exhibition which we titled "Off The Wall" (apple danishes were included in the deal).
Doesn't the artwork look amazing! I love how stunning the children's work looks on mass... not to mention their adorable faces all smiling back at you. It was also pretty cool to see their street art out on the back wall of the studio.. somewhat deteriorated from our Autumn rain but that it the nature of street art.
Thank you to all the families who popped in on Sunday to celebrate the children's art and were eager to take it home at 3 o'clock ... I know I went straight home to hang my girls art in our hallway.
The children have been practicing their clay building skills ... getting ready to create a beautiful sculpture that will be popped into a 1300 degree kiln and double fired with glaze.
I can't wait to see what they all make!
The studio will be closed from April 9 - April 25 (I am taking the family on a holiday.. our first in 7 years!) so I thought I would share a sneaky photo of the street art in progress that the children have been working on.
We had a look at the street art by Dain in London (on the computer not in London unfortunately..) The children's new artworks will be on display at the Nest Studio Mothers Day exhibition in May ... all are welcome!!
Here are some photos of the Nest Studio shop last weekend all ready for the Magill Road Street Fair.
New Lotte's Loops & Charlotte Sword Necklaces

Have a Lovely Relaxing Safe Easter Holiday .. See you all in May!
(Our term 2 focus is sculpture with clay, it's sure to be super fun)
Here are just a few of the quick snaps I got with my camera ... in amongst reading stories and playing a giant game of memory. I have to say the Kids Program at Writers Week was fantastic .. by far the most enjoyable event to have been invited to... Thank you to Roz for dobbing us in (xxox)and to Laura & Anna who listened to her (not to mention organise the whole event).
It was the perfect day, the sun was shining through the Plane trees at the Pioneer Women's Memorial Garden, every person I saw had a relaxed smile on their face & the kids were having so much fun. There were yummy snacks, wine and lunch to nibble on, a huge bookshop to casually walk through... Nylon Zoo parades to watch.. and that's just next to our tent!
I even spyed my book in the book shop... with all the fun and preperations for the day I had forgotten all about it and how it may be there (funny).
Here's a couple more photos as we wrapped up the day.. just 10 minutes to go and we still had families enjoying the last of the paper & paints.
And my girls Olive & Lily enjoying the Nylon Zoo!
Thank you to all the families who came over to say hello and enjoyed the stories, games and paints... we really had the best day ever!!
Last week the children created body art pieces in the studio. We watched the lovely Emma do some painting of her own... I am sure you have all seen this amazing video!
Check out how clever the children are!! I love all of them!
