TAFE LATE ENROLMENTS ARE POSSIBLE

Don't forget that classes do not start for another week or the week after for some courses and that LATE enrolments are possible in many courses. There's always some people dropping out in the first month or so cos they enrolled for more than one course so do contact the individual department inside of TAFE and get your name on a waiting list !

Support TAFE Ceramics

Did you miss the TAFe open day? Here's some photos?



Barry's funding cuts will lead to course fee increases and maybe even the Ceramics and other Fine Arts courses being shut down!

Maybe you're thinging oh Community colleges can provide course too!
Well the nearest other classes are at Baulkham Hills or Castle Hill !

Limited public transport and much smaller!

Asquith High has an evening class but they have smaller kilns and only Ew clay.

Then there's Roseville KAC great teachers but limited parking and I would not recommend carrying delicate ceramics over the bumpy path from the station!


Here's one of our teachers Natalie opening a large gas kiln.

Many glazes and larger cermaic objects just cant be fired in the sort of small electric  kilns that can be used in a home studio.

Hornsby TAFE is the only art centre on the North Shore that can offer kilns clays technical assistance and studio space to students at all levels from beginner to advanced.

While KAC and WAC also have excellent kilns and studios they also have limited parking space and transport access compared to Hornsby.

Hornsby is on several bus and train routes.

Support TAFE and tell Bazza you don't want funding cuts anywhere in TAFE cos you can bet they wont stop at ceramics or printmaking or painting!

More photos next post!

Dramality in the Shire

Dramality in the Shire 

Recently there's been rather a fuss about a Dramality program soon to be filmed in Sutherland Shire.

However Sutherland isnt the only Shire in Sydney.

Hornsby has plenty of drama of its own.

Such as this afternoon's train derailment?!

However I'ld like to draw your attention to lighter dramas and local tragicomedies and melodrama.

THE ANGST of Beasts

An Opera starring Oscar a magnificent baritone and his famous aria

Why oh why oh why must I stay home alone guarding this yard unappreciated ....

Hornsby also has its  own  ongoing soap opera featuring the CWA versus the council

Then there's the mystery of who really owns that vacant lot that could have been the alternate route to access the building site for the pool renovation?


Dramality???

How about some ACTUAL journalism focusing on real life drama?

Now I must go web surf for news about the derailment since apparently news film crew have been diverted to the oh so  important task of giving people opportunities t make complete fools of themselves.

No wait we have American politicians who think a presidency is the award for a "I'm the least onbnoxious right wing Republican candidate competition' and mining millionaires who think the CIA are linked to the Greens.

Dramality?

It seems there's no escaping it! ?
