A Christmassy Summer

Our summer exhibition of jewellery featuring our work along with 7 other jewellery artists. Of special interest will be the 3D printed jewellery of Bin Dixon-Ward together with Pennie Jagiello's pieces created entirely from life's flotsam and jetsam. The exhibition will continue through to the end of January

Summer times are here again.

So we are open once more on weekends for the summer. Norm Borg has reopened the glass studio, so when you come along To Nungurner you'll be able to see and purchase beautiful glass vessels as well as our jewellery!

BILK @ Incinerator

 

Hey everyone, Dore and I have work in this exhibition opening this Friday. If, like us you have never been to the birthing grounds of the stupendously hyperbolic Dame Edna, well then here's your chance. See you there!

SITE/sight INSIGHT Drawing workshop with RITA LAZAUSKAS

We are thrilled to introduce our friend Rita Lazauskas to you through her weekend drawing workshop being held at oneofftwo.

Artist/curator Rita Lazauskas has over twenty years experience working in public galleries in the development and presentation of exhibitions, public programs, workshops and guided tours.
A practicing artist since 1986, Rita works predominantly in drawing and painting. She has been a finalist in all the major drawing awards in Australia including the Dobell, Robert Jack, Dominique Segan, Hutchin, Swan Hill, Hazelhurst and Jacaranda. Awards include the 2011 Arts Wodonga Hume Award and 2004 Blackfriars Drawing Acquisitive.


ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Working from observation my practice includes a commitment to a daily drawing project, ongoing since 2003. When traveling the drawings record the landscape and architecture, most recently in Morocco. But more often than not, they are based on the objects on hand at home, reflecting on the complexities of life from a safe and defended position.

A bevy of old toys and junk, including iconic symbols of western culture such as the ‘Barbie’ doll, are in the jumble of debris and objects on the desktop. Viewed from above, the discarded toys, each with their own attributes and imperfections, become metaphor for the human condition. They act out scenarios - relationships are forged and narratives abound.

For those of you outside of East Gippsland, there is a range of accommodation right in Nungurner and nearby surrounds. We are happy to help with suggestions.

We are hoping to make this a great weekend, please email us for more info and/or bookings.

Dore & Marcus

Rings @ BILK Gallery, Canberra.

For all you jet setters out there I have some work in the forthcoming exhibition at BILK in Canberra. Opening is on Friday - be there!

Organic Geometry - Preview

Here we are then, some images from my new show. More reclaimed porcelain, beach pebbles and glass plus I've also had some fun with square step-cut synthetic corundum, that's man made sapphire and ruby.

Organic Geometry

We'd like to extend an invitation to everyone for Marcus' exhibition "Organic geometry", a new collection of contemporary rings at oneofftwo. The opening is on Easter Sunday afternoon from 2.30. Come along and enjoy a drink or two.
We're really pleased that Linus and Liam, two terrific jazz musicians will be there to bang out some great tunes.
The show will continue through April, closing on the 29th - if you can't make the opening we'd still love to see you.

Enameling Classes

Hello everyone,

with the days getting a bit colder I thought it might be a nice idea to fire up the kiln and run a weekly enameling/jewellery workshop. We'll offer two classes both on Tuesdays - one in the morning 9.30 to 12.30 and an evening class 6.00 to 9.00 and each running for 10 weeks.

Up to 5 participants in each of the classes will be shown the formative skills of enameling and gold and silversmithing with the goal of producing individually designed simple pieces of jewellery. Novices are welcome. For those participants with more experience there will be the opportunity to produce more complex work.

Please email us on mail@oneofftwo.com.au for further information.

Hope you can make it.

Dore
