A NEWS DIGEST OF
TUGGERAH LAKES ART SOCIETY
THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Dear Members,
Hugely successful, were the
sentiments Emma McBride MP used
to describe our Women in Art Expo
and Artisan’s Markets. She added
that she had visited the Expo on the
Saturday and enjoyed it so much, that
she brought her Mum back on
Sunday. My sincere thanks to Sam
Blanks for her efficient organisation of
the Exhibition, and Troy Flight for
coordinating the Artisan’s Markets,
but also for the multitude of helpers
who worked tirelessly, for without
them the event would not have been
‘hugely successful’. Forgive me for
not naming each and every one of
you.
And then came the rains! Our
Members’ Meeting in March had to be
cancelled due to the floods. We had
so much to share, which we will carry
over to the meeting on the 22nd
April’21. Sam Blanks will be our
guest presenter. There will be an
update on our 2021 Fab Fakes,
Corinne Adams will tell us about
some exciting new workshops she
has organised. We will have an
auction of quality art materials that
have been donated to us by a very
valued TLAS member, (who is
downsizing), to raise funds so we
don’t have to up our GT Workshop
fees.
More good news! We’ve been
contacted by the producers of ‘Put
Some Colour in Your Life’ TV show,
they would like to come and film a
series with our TLAS members.
Watch this space!
Take care,
Rasheeda

ABOUT ‘THE WASH’
‘The Wash’ newsletter is a simplified
version of the regular TLAS newsletter. It
still informs members of important
society news but in a concise form.
Most TLAS information (including
downloads) can also be found in more
detail on the TLAS Facebook Page and
the www.tlas.org.au website. It’s my
hope that a larger version newsletter,
with regular articles, will happen as a
quarterly publication.

TLAS ‘GOOD TIMES’ WORKSHOPS
Corinne Adams
Hi all, I hope everyone has dried out after all
that rain, I for one hope to not see any more for
a while.
As many were flooded in their homes when the
last meeting was due we didn’t have the
opportunity to meet our guest presenter
Claudia Paddison of ‘Claudia’s Creations’,
who is a local resin artist. I am hoping Claudia
will come along to our next meeting and show
us some of her fascinating pieces of ‘resin art’.
Claudia conducts her workshops from her
home in Chittaway Point and is presenting
classes for us, one of which will be held on
April 25 th , and she is giving back $10 to TLAS
from every person booking in, so the more
places we book the more we earn for TLAS! I
have another of her workshops ready to fill on
Saturday May 8 th from 10am to midday with all
materials supplied including a 30x40cm canvas
for $120. I’m sure you will agree this is a very
reasonable price. Will let you know how our first
workshop with Claudia goes, I think we will
have some really great messy fun - glad it’s at
Claudia’s place!
Unfortunately due to ill health Peter Tassell’s
Plein Air workshop on March 20th had to be
cancelled, I am hoping we will be able to book
him in again for another workshop later in the
year. Those members who have paid for this
workshop will have their money refunded.
The long awaited workshop by Scott Denholm,
happened last Saturday to a fully booked class,
(see the photos on the back page). As you may
recall Scott was due to present his workshop
for us in April 2020 but as he hails from
Queensland he’s been unable to cross the
border due to Covid 19 restrictions. The day
went extremely well, learning new techniques
with his amazing acrylic abstracts.
On May 15 th Silvana Natoli will present a Gold
Leaf mixed media workshop where she will
show us how to apply the gold leaf to a variety
of surfaces to create a beautiful piece of art. If
you are looking for something a little different,
then this workshop is for you and I have a
couple of places left, so get in quick.
My very first Art teacher Christine Ireland will
show us ala prima oils on June 12 th where
we’ll paint her little Blue Wren. (continues

THE EXTRA PAGE
SCOTT DENHOLM’S WORKSHOP
L to R: Scott’s ‘Good Times Workshop’ was fully booked - mostly from the original booking over 12 months ago. Scott
explained his technique of multiple layers and ‘scrubbing’ to reveal some of the previous layer. An eco-friendly artist,
Scott uses Hydrocryl organic paints exclusively. Another technique was the use of the roller. The artwork was created in
computer (with Photoshop) - the ‘organic’ artwork can take days to complete, hopefully in time for a showing at the next
Members’ Meeting on 22nd April.
