WANTED: local art tutors to teach 2009 courses

After years of providing quality art workshops in Wagga Wagga, Best Street Studios is responding to the local demand for increased creative workshops and courses, and is calling for expressions of interest from local artists/tutors who have an artistic skill that they are willing to pass on to others.

Kathryn Powderly has been teaching clay and mosaic courses to children and adults for some years now and also offers fabulous school holiday programs for children. She is extremely passionate about making art accessible to everyone and allowing them to experience the joy and satisfaction that comes from art.

Best Street Studios is now aiming to expand the workshop series and offer a range of workshops in various art mediums, taught by various artists from the region. The aim for Best Street Studios is to be the matchmaker between the community desire to create and those in the community with artistic skills to pass on.

Requests have been made for workshops such as; wood carving, metal sculpture, textiles, beading, jewellery, creative writing, printmaking, watercolor, drawing, pastels and HSC preparation.

Best Street Studios is calling for expressions of interest from local artists who are interested in teaching a workshop throughout 2009. Days and times are flexible, the priority will be offering high demand and quality workshops at a time that suits the appropriate market.

If you would like to express interest please call Linda Tillman on 0439 192 193 or email your workshop proposal to bestsreetstudios@bigpond.com before 14th November 2008.
