On Saturday we’ll visit Sullivan+Strumpf in Zetland for Yvette Coppersmith’s show

We’ll get there by bus from Botany where we’ll first do some administrative work. Then we’ll visit Lark Space in Newtown where we might in future be able to hold classes. While out that way we’ll maybe hand out some flyers at the Sydney Contemporary that’s on at Carriageworks, then we’ll troop down to south Newtown to check out whether we can hire a costume at Costume-Party.

It'll be a day trip with art as the focus as always. This week I’ve spent days driving around Sydney collecting magazines that people were giving away via Facebook Marketplace, this photo taken after a couple of days’ driving.

The thing is that lessons cost money as we need to engage a teacher, and it’s usual for people to give their time and expertise for functions for a fee. Alternatively, it’s possible that we can get a different rate for collage sessions, but all these plans are still evolving, check back later to find out how we’re doing with our major life project revolving around art.

On Wednesday I rearranged my living room, bringing up from the basement a cabinet I’d found earlier in the year. I also emptied a shelf of books (and transported the books down to the garage, where there are more bookshelves) so that, upstairs, I could put magazines handy for people sitting in the living room to use to make things.
