Wire it Up this Weekend!

Wire it Up community Sculpture Installation, will be happening on October 22 & 23 at Off the Rails Gallery...so come on down and get amongst it!




Alison Eggleton led a fascinating afternoon workshop at OTR Gallery on Saturday.
Participants had the opportunity to get stuck into the piles of recycled materials that Alison provided, and began working on sculptural ideas in the lead up to this weekend's Discover Dunkeld Event.




Wire it Up is made possible by the Australian Government regional arts program, the Regional Arts Fund, which gives all Australians, wherever they live, better access to opportunities to practice and experience the arts. The Regional Arts Fund is administered in Victoria by Regional Arts Victoria.




Thanks Alison!

Making Paper Workshop



Visitors to Off the Rails Gallery had the opportunity over the weekend to participate in a special paper making workshop. Pru Saimoun was on hand to lead enthusiasts through the process of creating hand-made paper using recycled paper pulp and plant fibres.



Participants had the opportunity to get creative with moulding or dlumping over objects. A number of visitors to the space either took part in the workshop or marvelled at Pru's collection of paper creations, which were on display around the gallery.
