Interested in Learning a New Art or Craft Medium?
At Cedar Galleries you can turn up on any Friday for informal tutoring at your own pace in sculpture, mosaic, weaving and spinning. The tutors in each group will get you started and have materials and equipment ready for you to use. So you can learn the medium before you need to start investing in equipment. You'll pay $5 per session to Cedar Galleries for the day for use of the studios and facilities. Or for $20 you'll get 5 sessions on the Fridays of your choosing. The tutors can sell you the materials you'll need at a small cost and there is a small per day tutoring cost until you've got the feel for the basics. But once you've learned the techniques you can just turn up on Fridays with your own project and materials, pay the $5 studio fee and unleash your creativity with a great group of people. Or for a scheduled one-on-one or small group beginner classes, on other days of the week, we can put you in contact with great tutors in a range of mediums. Studio Spaces Available to the Public Cedar Galleries is a working art and crafts village with studio spaces available to the public suitable for creating in various mediums. We have a painting and drawing studio, a sculpture studio, fibre and textiles studio, mosaic studio, and papercrafts studio. We also have spaces available for new mediums or even for a private hire arrangement. The spaces are available to the public from 9am until 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Most artists attend on Fridays creating a vibrant and social atmosphere. To use the spaces you need to bring your own materials and equipment (unless you're starting as a beginner in one of our groups) and come to the Café the first time so we can show you around. The cost of enjoying our studio facilities is $5 per visit, or $20 for 5 visits. You can choose to join in with the folks already using the spaces or create a new group. The Cedar Gallery The Cedar Gallery with it's rustic barn exterior and high vaulted ceiling is one of our exhibition spaces. It is used to feature talented groups and individuals in our region and their exhibitions. Spacious and air conditioned it is also currently serving as our Fibre and Textiles studio space where artists gather to do bobbin lacemaking, spinning on wheels, weaving, embroidery, crochet, knitting and patchwork. Fibre and Textiles artists meet every Friday from 9am. There is also a group coming on the second and fourth Saturday of the month. There is plenty of space for wheels, looms and sewing machines. The Mosaic studio and Papercraft studio These adjoining spaces have evolved with the new mediums our art community adopts. Fridays are busy with mosaic artists. They can get you started and teach you the techniques. You just need to turn up in enclosed shoes and they can provide the rest. The Sculpture studio We've always had a vibrant and noisy sculpture community at Cedar Galleries. As each new person joins in they're mentored by the tutor. Artists are each working on their own pieces at their own pace. You'll need enclosed shoes and enthusiasm to join in, but everything else including the hebel, limestone and tools is available here. The Calliope Room The Calliope Room is both an exhibition space and our own gift shop used to display a changing collection of wall art pieces, sculptural pieces and handicrafts. These works are all by artists and crafts persons from the region. The Artist Studio This is a multipurpose space that's used for painting, pastel work, tie dye, leadlight and a variety of other mediums. It's a covered space with plenty of ventilation. Interested in displaying art here? If you're interested in displaying work on consignment in our galleries you should email us at enquiries@cedargalleries.com.au . If you feel this is the right venue for your art to shine then send us electronic images of your work and we can begin a discussion. Commission is 20% and for artists who don't regularly create at Cedar Galleries. To have an entire gallery for a private exhibition there is a hanging fee of $150. For just a few pieces, contact us to discuss. Interested in running a workshop here? If you're interested in running a workshop you should email us. We have a number of spaces to suit a variety of mediums, from an airconditioned conferencing space to well-ventilated studio spaces. We can host workshops on Sundays to Fridays for a cost of just $5 per participant, or a minimum of $50, whichever is greater. We will have the cafe open so your participants can purchase morning tea, lunch and refreshments. Saturday is traditionally a busy day for events at Cedar Galleries, but with enough notice and a higher minimum rental, Saturday workshops are also possible. We have guest rooms on site also so residential workshops are a fabulous option allowing you and your students to immerse yourselves in the experience. For residential workshops the minimum stay is 2 nights. One guest room for 1 person is $60 per night. One guest room shared by 2 people is $80 per night. One guest room shared by 3 people is $90 per night. Interested in displaying your art here or running a workshop? We'd love to hear from you.
