Arts & Craft Newsletter - Campbell Town Tasmania - June 2025
Edition 15 | June 2025
From the editor:
It has been a wonderful month filled with creativity during May.
Our usual 4 x monthly Art & Craft Groups as well as our monthly soft pastel and pencil drawings groups all saw an influx of new people attend – which is fantastic. Our pencil drawing group was a real hit in May as we explored how to grid up a reference and how to train our eye to refer to the grid sections in our drawing.
Many dozens of young people were introduced to clay during the Campbell Town Show at our stall in the Exhibition Hall. I look forward to bringing further activities to help give our young people (who are interested) a creative outlet. Let me know if your child has any interest or desire to do more creatively as I am willing to tailor regular or one-off activities for those interested.
School holiday activities are announced below, and tickets are available in the gallery now, or they will be open online soon.
There is no slowing down on creative activities during June with our usual regular groups, clay workshops, painting retreats and more. You can browse our calendar below, or view in our gallery.
May you continue to be inspired and bring a little art into your daily life.
“Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the Divine” Ludwig van Beethoven
