School Holiday Art Classes
27 Sept - 8 October 2010 -
"Outta this World!"
Glow-in-the-dark habitats, aliens, creepy crawlies,
weird creatures, imaginary planets...
Class details and timetable will be published early
in September.

During the Sept/Oct school holidays children will
have the opportunity to work on the Lake House entry
into the children's sculpture @ the fort exhibition
in November.
Childrens sculpture @ the fort is the children of
Auckland's exhibition within the NZ Sculpture
onshore event. For more details about NZ
Sculpture onshore go to
www.nzsculptureonshore.co.nz
Our
top priority is to make our exhibition an
experiential one, not just a visual display.
Visitors will be encouraged to touch and explore.
We will have ‘black light’ to make the paints and
white objects glow in the dark.
Visitors will walk through a curtains of flowers and
shapes into a whole new world. Inside will be giant
glowing alien bugs, aboriginal cave paintings,
creepy crawlies, glow worms, strange animals, alien
vines and trees, imaginary planets..
All
students participating in the exhibition will
brainstorm to come up with a name for this weird and
wonderful place.

As Joanne became more confident she held her first art show in the garden at home along with some friends who also enjoyed painting. It was most successful and each November thereafter if it was possible they had an art show and sale at the same venue.
Joanne started teaching at Lake House Arts Centre three years ago. Her eight week course covers drawing and watercolour painting techniques. Her paintings are in private collections in the UK Japan and Canada as well as New Zealand.

Our First Raku
Firing at Lake House
Tuesday 1 September
What an exciting evening on Tuesday. Our clay
tutor Bill Hayes built a mobile raku kiln from a
drum using fireproof bricks at the base.
Pieces are loaded onto the bricks and the lid of the
kiln is lowered over them. Two gas bottles
with gas torches attached are used to heat the kiln.
After about an hour
the lid is lifted to reveal glowing hot pots.
The pots are carefully lifted out and rolled into a
metal container full of sawdust or leaves and
quickly covered up as they immediately set the
sawdust on fire. After a few minutes the pots
are taken from the sawdust and quenched in water.
This process was repeated a couple of times.
A very successful
first firing!
