What's on

Join Adam Corrigan from Your Energy Friend & Wingecarribee Shire Council staff as we spend some time unravelling confusing energy bills and assisting you with recommending some changes in your own home that could go a long way to reducing energy use and costs.

First Adam will explain the different aspects of an energy bill, what it all really means and who you can turn to for the facts and support. Then we will sit down together and go through YOUR energy bill, so make sure you bring along a copy.

Adam’s Energy 101 sessions aims to educate and encourage you to take control of your energy usage, but also reduce your carbon footprint through energy efficiency and installation of renewable where it makes sense.

We look forward to meeting you there.

As a beginner artist, you will experiment with and explore a variety of mediums and techniques in this one-day workshop.

After an introduction about materials, techniques and subjects we will explore drawing using graphite and charcoal. Then we will use soft pastels on textured paper and conclude with an acrylic painting. You will be able to take home four completed artworks.

We will use collage (an artistic composition made of various materials glued on a surface) in two simple ways in this one-day workshop.

The first technique uses painted newspaper to create your design. The Cockerel at Sunrise and the Seated Woman are examples of this style.
The other technique is combining cut-out images and a painted surface. This can be seen in the Boy standing in front of the Farmhouse.
This course suits beginners and intermediate artists.
