Networks meetings

Netwurk News  27 May 2011
 
As you will see from the blog http://networksaustralia.blogspot.com some serious Netwurking was going on here in Canberra last weekend with the Bilum workshop. We also had a chance to catch up with each other briefly about the follow up exhibition Nets 2011 scheduled for Strathnairn 26 August.- 11September.* This exhibition may provide an opportunity for the pieces in the 2010 Exhibition to be shown again as well as other pieces not included in that exhibition and new works made in the interim.
We also discussed meeting again during the coming months and have made bookings for the workshop rooms at Strathnairn on the following Saturdays: 18 June, 16 July and 13 August.
On these days we will be scheduling times for Exhibition discussion/planning as well as having time for doing workshops or some such. At this stage The June meeting has the following schedule:
 
Saturday 18 June
 
10.00am-12noon​Exhibition discussion/planning. All interested in being part of the Nets 2011are encouraged to come if you can.
12.00-1.00pm​Lunch bring your own - tea and coffee provided
1.00pm-4pm​[Still to be confirmed] Bilum workshop with Balba and Nelson to learn the next steps in making our bilums using the ‘mouses’ that Nelson is ordering for some of us. Unfortunately Balba cannot make it on 18th so the afternoon could be for knitting discussions so bring your wool and needles!

Workshop details and meeting time to be decided at the June 18 meeting
 
Saturday 13 August
 
Workshop details and meeting time to be decided at the June 18 meeting

Aug 23/24/25 will be available for setting up with the opening on Aug 27 probably. The exhibition will need to come down on September 11. Both Nancy and Lynne will be OS on Sept 11 and not able to be part of the dismantling.
 
We will be keeping in touch through emails as well as via the blog.
