Some of the basics of drawing have been established. It is now time to push on and explore your potential. Charcoal drawing is a basic tool for beginning artists. Through use of different coloured, textured papers; the magic of a white charcoal pencil and the kneaded eraser; light and shade; cast shadows; smudging and layering, a more complex image emerges. Come and join a fun, experimental group that loves to chat and draw. Migara Ramanayake will professionally guide us, yet again, to draw what we didn’t think we could.

Mahjong enthusiasts throughout WA are invited to this Festival which will be in the same format as the Australasian Mahjong Festival held every year in the Eastern states since 1994. Since there is such a huge variety of different styles (Western, Chinese, etc) played throughout Australia, the organisers have distilled the competition down to a manageable list of 16 games. We have permission to use this list for our One-day Festival. This list will be shared with participants so that if desired, she/he may practise prior to the Festival. The winner of the Perth Festival will receive a cash prize of $200 which may be used towards the registration fee for the next Australiasian Mahjong Festival to be held in Rockhampton in August 2024. In addition, the winner will receive bragging rights as the WA Mahjong Champion. Morning/afternoon tea & biscuits will be provided, BYO lunch & coffee mug. Note: It's not about winning!!! The focus is on having fun and making new friends. www.mahjongwa.org.au

Before TikTok, there was poetry. Poetry sings like a rock star. Poetry knocks on the front door like an insurance salesman, and sneaks around the back like a surly teenager. Join Rhian Healy, the 2023 winner of the June Shenfield Poetry Award, and learn how poetry takes an ancient tradition and makes it modern. During this workshop we will read samples of modern poets, write our own poems and edit them over the 4 weeks. Week 1 & 2: Language/Lyric. Week 3: Rhyme & Rhythm. Week 4: Shape & Structure. **Poem prompts provided before every class.
