Marion Crear presents gelli printing on Monday 3 October.

This involves paint being put onto a soft pad which is then scribed to make patterns for printing.

Ann Shepphard shows how to make imaginative wrapping papers using handmade stamps on Tuesday, while Sharron Arnold demonstrates the use of different types of paper to make concertina books that fold out for photo albums, journals and diaries on Wednesday.

Monique Buchbach uses a mix of paint and glue to repurpose old paper into things such as collages, book binders or journals on Thursday and Kerrie Stewart utilises plant dyes on paper to make ‘eco paper’ for cards or other art works on Friday.

Gypsy Art Group spokesperson Kerrie Stewart said, “We want as many people as possible to come along, enjoy and participate.”

She said aspiring artists are always welcome, with any creative interest and skill level.

The Group meets on Thursdays, fortnightly, at the Boambee Community Centre, from 9am to 1pm.

There is no joining fee, and each meeting is $10

Members share their skills and the Group also periodically hosts specialty tutors.
