Your creativity can help make Penrose Place in Tarneit even prettier by coming along to the Penrose Repurposed – Sustainable Art Experiences! project.
Three hour workshops will run on February 28, March 1, March 14 and March 15 between 10am-1pm, and will give participants the opportunity to weave and paint their hearts out.
Sally Walshe, also known as Lady Mohawk, will lead the event in collaboration with Wyndham council.
“I believe that when people come together to create, something truly special happens,” she said.
“One of my biggest passions is sustainability in the arts, and this project is a perfect example of how we can give new life to discarded materials.
“By using recycled and excess paint, we’re not only reducing waste but also encouraging artistic expression and a deeper sense of community connection.”
The first three sessions will involve painting large artworks with the help of expert artist and muralist Justine McCallister.
On March 15, Master Weaver Aunty Vicki Kinai will teach weaving techniques to integrate between the paintings, further beautifying the fence.
Once completed, the artworks will be displayed on fencing around Penrose, turning the space into a vibrant outdoor gallery and connecting the local community to the space with their own artworks for all to enjoy.
People of ages are welcomed and encouraged to join in on the fun.
Any volunteers or businesses who would like to contribute supplies to the project can get in touch with Sally at Sally@ladymohawk.com.au
