Our littlest printer yet! 🎨

It may be the Toora Little Press, but this weekend we welcomed the littlest printer yet into the Gallery for a go at printmaking! 💚

There’s been a real buzz of creativity, curiosity and happy discoveries as Sue Gilford and her team of helper artists continue to inspire visitors to have a go.

From explaining how to ink up and guiding everyone through the process, to that exciting moment when you lift the paper and reveal your print… it’s all part of the magic! ✨

A huge thank you to Sue and team for sharing your skills, enthusiasm and love of printmaking with our visitors. You’re making printmaking accessible, fun and a little less mysterious for everyone!

There’s still time to have a go! Join us at Stockyard Gallery every Saturday and Sunday in October, 12–3pm, and discover the joy of making your own print.

Supported by our wonderful local Community Bank Toora & Foster. 💚

🐦 The finishing touches…
The quirky birds created last week in Ann Maree’s Hand-Built Ceramic Birds workshop are back for their finishing touches!
On Monday it was time to add the colourful glazes before they head into the kiln for firing.
We can’t wait to see how these fun characters emerge after firing — each one with its own personality and ready to grace someone’s garden! 🌿🐦
Watch this space for the final results!
A big thank you to Community Bank Toora and Foster for supporting our
Make & Create workshops. 💚

The wonder of printmaking 🍃💙
We had a number of people pop in, have a go and discover just how much fun printmaking can be!
Among them was a gorgeous family, with the children especially enjoying printing leaves and seeing how beautifully the process captures every tiny detail — right down to the veins of the leaf.
There’s something quite magical about pulling that first print and seeing what appears! ✨
And the good news is the printmaking continues! 🎨
We’ll be offering Printmaking Drop-Ins next weekend and every weekend throughout October — Saturdays & Sundays, 12–3pm.
Come along, have a go and create your own print. No experience necessary — just bring your curiosity!
A big thank you to our wonderful local supporters Community Bank Toora & District and Foster for helping make these creative opportunities possible. 💙

PRINTMAKING WITH THE TOORA LITTLE PRESS

Over 40 brave souls braved the weather today to join us at Stockyard Gallery for refreshments, a catch-up and the opening of The Toora Little Press exhibition!

Sue Gilford, guardian of the press, shared the fascinating history of this wonderful community press and talked about how the 10 artists in the exhibition have experimented with printmaking in so many different ways — from complete beginners to more experienced artists, using everything from leaves and Tetra Pak packaging to lino and even eggshells!

And now it’s YOUR turn to have a go!

Throughout the October weekends, 12–3pm, everyone is welcome to come along and try the press for themselves.

Don’t be intimidated — you don’t need to be an experienced artist. Just come along, have a play and see what you can create!
