Form Studio and Gallery

Claire ran an Art vs Science watercolour workshop for children at the weekend at Form Studio and Gallery.

Although as it turned out on this occasion there was no competition between Science and Art. They're just as fascinating and immersing as each other...

 ....each with a strong emphasis on learning through the senses, observation and taking an inquiry approach...

.. which is very absorbing, experimental and FUN!

It's a beautiful space in which to work - with the gallery clear of precious works at the moment....

 except for the watercolours being created on the floor.

I was amazed at how focused these kids remained for the two hour workshop - but not surprising really with the inspired way Claire teaches - she's brilliant!

We had dinner with the P family tonight.....one of Joshy's famous roast dinners....which are just getting better and better with each one I am invited to. The girls had had a HUGE day outside helping Josh and Grandpa do some repairs to the deck. Abi put on a great perfromance at the dinner table eating more "chickney" (chicken) than any one else, and lots of the vegies too. I thought she'd burst.
