The Perth Comic Arts Festival ran last week and wa The Perth Comic Arts Festival ran last week and was a massive success! Liz and Campbell helped co-found the festival and have loved watching it grow each year. This year Liz helped curate the Festival exhibition, Message in a Bottle. This is Liz’s third exhibition as part of the Festival and, showcases four collaborating artist duos from Perth, who were lucky enough to find their kindred soul. The exhibition is still running and is an absolutely delightful way to spend some time. Campbell programmed the PCAF Talks series. These ten talks highlighed some of the most interesting conversations and comics works in Australia from the past year, both locally and interstate. Campbell also programmed the Workshops series. This offered folks the opportunity to get hands-on with aspects of the comics making process and learn from some of our most generous local makers. Finally, we also were in charge of three tables in the market hall. One for Campbell's comics where we were proud to be able to have copies of Home Time II on offer with the brand new silver Comic Arts Awards Australia , one for Milktooth where we debuted 20 new works by our students and the Mount Lawley Comics Club table, featuring kids from Mount Lawley SHS. We're so proud of the incredible work everyone put into the Festival and are excited to see how it grows in the future. Many thanks to our parents who bravely covered our market hall tables while we were running around. Photo courtesy of Marziya Mohammedali.

✨Junior Art with Elizabeth Marruffo✨ Welcome ✨Junior Art with Elizabeth Marruffo✨ Welcome to the incredible world of Mary Anning! Join us at Milktooth over 8 weeks as we explore the life and work of one of the most important scientists of all time, Mary Anning. Born on the Southern coast of England, she spent her years tirelessly exploring the sea-side cliffs, excavating, interpreting and documenting the prehistoric fossils she found. Anning’s contributions to paleontology revolutionised our understanding of the deep past and the history of our planet. Each session of the 8 week course will see students exploring a different aspect of her life through a creative project, learning new skills and gaining new knowledge along the way. Our small class size of only 10, means that each student will get the feedback and attention they need in order to achieve their best outcome. In Junior Art we will be exploring the world of Mary Anning, through a range of activities such as studying and illustrating the incredible mathematical patterns of ferns, recreating the abstract patterns of cyanobacteria using organic paints, carefully drawing the dimensional forms of spiraling shells, felting a small model of Anning herself and much more. At the end of term, the completed works will be curated into a small, cabinet of curiosities to take home. Thursday afternoon session runs at 4.00pm – 5.30pm from the 29th of July until the 16th of September Saturday morning session runs at 9.30am – 11.00am from the 24th of July until the 11th of September This course is recommended for ages 7+
