What's on

Come and visit our small permaculture urban farm in the picturesque, historic village of Bundanoon.

It is all in the bespoke, nutritionally balanced feed we make – the formula for which which we are sharing in this on-farm short class. We’ll show you how to use the formula to make the feed to meet the bird’s optimal nutritional needs as these requirements vary throughout the seasons. You get to take home a sample of the feed so you can see how your hens just love it.

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.

Pyrography is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker, heated steel tip pen or solar energy. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning. The term means “writing with fire”, from the Greek pur (fire) and graphos (writing). Under the guiding hand of Steve, our guest tutor from Styro Pyrography, you will learn and practice how varying the type of tip used, the temperature, or the way the iron is applied to the material can create different effects, and a range of tones and shades can be achieved. As an Australian Pyrography artist influenced by Australian landscapes, Steve likes to use reclaimed timber where possible in order to produce original and unique burnings. These one day workshops are designed for beginners to provide an introduction to pyrography. More advanced workshops are available in August (2-day workshop, 21st-22nd).

Offering a fresh approach to painting is Ngununggula’s next Sunday Painters Series artist, Heath Nock, who has come to the medium as a celebrated draughtsperson and tattoo artist. Living on Gandangara lands, in The Southern Tablelands, Nock explores his relationship with the Australian landscape working in oil and synthetic polymers paint, and pushing the figure into genderless forms in both urban and rural settings. His segue from a more graphic tattoo style to a brushy, fluid abstraction has been seamless, often taking its cue from music to tap into the world around him.
