Hi everyone
We are busily looking after our friends home in Toowoomba. We have had some quite cool nights but no frosts as yet - even though the weather people keep predicting it.
I have been busy doing weaving with the primary school students and for 6 weeks I am teaching the grade 8 and 9 students how to make string bags and also how to start and do coiling weave.
I am holding a weaving day in Toowoomba on the 2nd June from 10am to 3pm. I currently have 3 people coming so it will be a very personal class - at this stage anyway.
Today I had the pleasure of watching the 'Arts' faculty at the Harristown High School have their inaugural performance - and it was good. Miss G was in a skit from Matilda about the 'naughty children'.
The students are also doing a play over the next three nights called - The children of the Black Skirt. It is about an orphanage in Australia and the scene we saw today was quite thought provoking.
Went to the movies on Saturday - for the first time in months - and saw the documentary on the life of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu. A great musician and a great insight into this man and his culture. If you get the opportunity to see it - I think you would enjoy it.
Hope you are all keeping well.
