Inner Creatures 👹
School Holiday Workshop
for 12 -17 year olds

Join artist June Golland next Wednesday 7 October for a full day of creative play in this hands-on workshop that invites young people to pull apart discarded soft toys, dolls and found materials and reassemble them into entirely new creatures. Part sculpture, part creature-making laboratory and part exercise in imaginative mischief, it begins with an abundant collection of pre-loved toys and materials that participants can cut, combine, stitch, attach, embellish and transform. A teddy bear might acquire six legs. A rabbit can grow wings. Two creatures can become one. Something cute can become strange; something ugly can become beautiful. There is no correct outcome and no particular level of artistic skill is required — the emphasis is on experimentation, humour, invention and the pleasure of making something unexpected with your hands.

Cost is $20. Head over to our Eventbrite page to book.

Vale Frannie Hopkirk.

It is with sadness that all of us at Orange Regional Gallery acknowledge the passing of Frannie Hopkirk.

Frannie was a long-time resident of the nearby village of Millthorpe and one of the Gallery’s great supporters. She was a gifted writer, poet and sister of artist Brett Whiteley.

Frannie was a great friend to many in our community. Anyone who met her, wouldn’t forget her. We enjoyed her insightful humour, her passion for art and writing, and her generosity.

Her presence will be deeply missed and our thoughts are with her family and loved ones at this time.
