Future Creations Volume 7 will also be launched this day from 10.30am - 12pm which is a zine created by young people in the Macedon Ranges.
Thank-you to the Kyneton Library and the Macedon Ranges Youth Services for having me down to hold a zine workshop for the launch of the Future Creations Zine on July 1st. This was the launch for Volume 3, you can find #1 and #2 online as it started during the lock-downs last year. The workshop also included badge making.
Editions are published each term and showcase the talented and creative young people in the Macedon Ranges."
It was lovely to meet the young people behind the works and the creation of the zine and the team behind the Youth Services Team, I am excited to see where their next issue takes them.
Come and join us as we launch Future Creations a zine created by young people living in the Macedon Ranges.
The launch will be followed by a zine and badge makerspace led by Kelly Robson from 2pm.
Come and have a try!
For young people aged 12-25.

During lock down last year here in Victoria the Bendigo Arts officers created an online gallery for people to send in works, pieces and writing that they created during that time. I hadn't during that time created any work. They did however create another opportunity this year when we went into a 7 day snap lock down to send in work which I took the opportunity to do. You can find that particular week here. And below is the image I created and a little bit about it. You can find the other online galleries for this project by clicking here.
"In these challenging times, we created an online exhibition as a way of sharing work and encouraging art-making.
The aim each week was to program a diverse exhibition, showing a variety
of artistic expression. Local artists were invited to submit a single
still image – a photograph, a photograph of an artwork or a digital
image and text to describe the artwork, or the idea behind it.
Over 32 weeks we collected 780 artworks by 175 artists."
I used the quote from the film Wild at Heart as my friend Leonie kept saying it due to the fact one day she had a similar style coat on. I have used coloured pencils on black paper with some collage of magazine pieces. Nothing special but gave me inspiration to create some art.
It has been a very long time since posting on this blog due to a lot of varying factors. I was given the chance about 2 years ago to create a paste up in Chancery Lane for when the Bendigo Art Gallery hosted the Tudors to Windsors exhibition during 2019. However the paste-up is no longer there which is part of the idea with street art and paste ups that it is only temporary. Below are images of the process and final piece that was along the lane way walls. I called it A Royal Chancery taking the name of the lane and adding a royal feel to it.
