Today we slowed down, gathered inspiration from nature, and celebrated the beautiful close of another creative term together.
Our final class for Term 2 was all about exploring the rich colours and textures found in the natural world. We experimented with a collection of natural dyes and pigments — from the deep pinks of beetroot and mulberry, to the vibrant warmth of turmeric, alongside mixed berries, tea and coffee stains that created earthy tones and unexpected colour blends.
We began with colour swatching and playful colour mixing, discovering how these organic materials shifted, softened and surprised on paper and fibre.
From there, we moved into painting inspired by a beautiful selection of foraged botanicals including banksia, lantana, bougainvillea and autumn leaves — observing their form, texture and seasonal colour to create expressive, nature-led artworks.
It was a gentle afternoon of creativity, conversation, experimentation and connection with the natural world
