It’s been a while since we’ve been seen here….. there’s been a lot of creativity happening in the meantime! Over 2 terms, young artists participating in the Explore Express Excel program at The Cheeky Parrot Gallery, have been diligently working on their entry for this year’s Art in The Porongurup event which opens on April 3.

They are just adding the final touches and the entry represents their exploration and development of sculpture techniques using clay. Each unique piece has been through the kiln (twice!) and the young artists have learned some additional skills including how to make their own wire springs and the older group got handy with their woodworking skills to work on the bus. What bus?! You might well ask! Come along to Art in the Porongurup and all will be revealed! It truly is a great “must see” event to enjoy over the Easter holidays - concludes midday April 11.
