There was no way we could distract her!! It's

together.
Almost half the collaboration joined with eight other artists from Central Queensland to experience solar etching with Wendy McGrath at a Flying Arts workshop in the Walter Reid Centre in Rockhampton over the weekend. Jen and Donna came up from Brisbane to have a 'studio day' with Peta on the Friday. We worked in a frenzy of creation, making gelatine prints, rusting paper and learning the tape transfer technique. Then worked with Tamara and Nanette on Saturday and Sunday creating solar etchings!! What a fantastic weekend!!
