We will use an internal H section lead as the frame so that the panel can later be incorporated in a larger panel if you so desire.

Saturday and Sunday. Lunch not provided.

Tutor: Roz Benson
Having been a disaster at school where I was sent to detention every afternoon and consequently every Saturday morning for talking in class, I have had a very fulfilling creative life. Art School was heaven On finishing my course in 1959 I was taken on by a new York agent as a children’s book illustrator and worked through her until she retired in 1998, and from 1972 I was contracted by the ABC and WA Health Department, also becoming a designer and crafts-man in a stained glass business in Perth, and taught the craft at the Fremantle Art Centre and in its remote WA educational programs.
