Hi there,

I have recently gratuated from a visual arts course in regional Queensland and I am interested in pursuing my skills further.
Is it possible to have an intensive workshop over an extended period? If so, what are the options, criteria and costs involved?
I am looking for a 3 week period with the intention of applying for a grant to cover the costs.

Kind regards,

Rose Rigley

about us

The Studio West End is located on the first floor of an old factory building which now houses ABSOE, a business selling office furniture, shop fittings and industrial shelving. Freelance journalist Gerry O’Connor once described it as having a Renaissance atmosphere, “a place where a great deal of hard work and very little navel gazing takes place … where artworks are ‘made’.” (O’Connor, Gerry (2000). Meeting ofcreative minds in The Courier-Mail, December 29). Wander in on one of the regular workshops and you understand what O’Connor meant. 'Hot off the press' takes on new meaning and momentum as participants watch their etching plates morph into subtle prints, the whole processdirected by the Studio's principals, Willem (Wim) de Vos and Adele (Del) Outteridge.
