Bayside Texture Arts Social Meeting

VENUE: Yurara Art Society, 262 Cleveland-Redlands Bay Rd, Thornlands
TIME: from 9:30am
ENTRY FEE: $5.00 entry fee (cash) and (optional) 50 cents for tea and coffee.
BRING: a name tag, Show and Tell items (new creations or old favourites), morning tea to share.  Artwork for the All That Glitters is Not Gold challenge.
ACTIVITY:  Chris will lead a leaf printing activity. 

Start to prepare now by collecting and pressing leaves. Find a heavy book and put some leaves between the pages. Place the leaves between tissue or baking paper or normal paper to stop them sticking to the book pages. If you can, choose leaves with prominent, interesting veins and varying shapes.  
BRING: watercolour paints, watercolour paint brushes, hand towel, jar for water, brayer (if you have one), paper to print on such as watercolour paper (at least 150 gsm). The better quality your paper is , the better your prints should be.
If you have an embossing / dye cut machine such as a Cuttlebug, Sissex Big Shot ( any brand) please bring it. These make good printing presses if you add thick card, felt etc to the plastic plates. Bring some card and felt if you want to do that.
