Art Workshops at Berry will host the talented and energetic artist/teacher Jo Bertini, who will teach a 2 day workshop focusing on painting and sketching directly from nature.

This workshop is designed for artists to develop a visual language and a particular thinking about the genre of landscape painting. A preliminary approach will include use of sketch books, drawings, photography and small scale concept studies using each artist’s intuitive strengths as well as developing skill based techniques. This creative experimentation achieves a unique interpretation for each individual student to then pursue with confidence on a larger, more resolved scale.

Jo is a well-known artist who has exhibited her work for over 2 decades. She has also taught at tertiary institutes and at workshops around the country for many years. Jo has been a finalist in many prominent prizes including the Wynne, Sulman and Portia Geach.

Saturday 7th March 10am – 4pm

Berry Bowling Club Markets are held on the second Saturday of each month.

Kidtastic Time has joined up with Berry Bowling Club to create a unique new market.
 We try our hardest every month to only have ONE stall selling each type of product, so there is a great range of products and plenty of variety. Visitors can walk through the friendly, family-orientated markets and meet the stallholders selling their own products. We have many stallholders, both local and from further afield, who are very proud of their wares and love chatting to shoppers.

We also have live music and great food on offer, both inside the club and outside the club. There’s something for everyone. Once you have grabbed some yummo food you can relax in front of the live music or enjoy a jig or two!

We are a company who has had a lot to do with the South Coast over the many years and we decided that we wanted to say thank you for allowing us to be a part of the Shoalhaven community by giving the coast more to visit and more bargains to buy.
 You can never have too many markets in one place for the community to benefit from!!

Come along and say hello to all the stallholders. You will be surprised how they relate to you. Family-friendly that’s what we are!

Students will be exposed to a variety of ideas and approaches with informal discussion on composition, colour, influences and the illusion of space.

Idris’ work is held in the public collections of the Australian National Gallery, the National Library of Australia and the Art Gallery of NSW.

Yvonne Langshaw who will teach a 2 day workshop focusing on sketching and painting directly from nature.

This workshop will be about exploring mark making techniques of expressive drawing using different media including ink, pastel, oil pastel, charcoal, graphite, paint, collage and gesso to create an abstract or semiabstract work. By adding created collage pieces plus paint to mark making, a new work will emerge. Experimentation, creativity and spontaneity will be focused on together with exciting and different ways of starting a painting. Demonstrations of techniques will be given as well as individual help and tuition.

Yvonne’s abstractions of landscapes are inspired by a developing love of nature and just enjoying the bushland. Over the years she has travelled further afield to the Kimberley, Central Australia and overseas, the flora and geology of the area giving the landscape its unique character.

Yvonne has works in public and private collections in Australia and overseas, including Shoalhaven City Council, Public Trustee of New South Wales, Kiama Leagues Club and has won over 100 first prizes in competitions since 1968.
