Community events
There is no tuition fee for this weekly class apart from a small weekly venue hire. As the title of this course suggests, this course assumes you have little or no knowledge of Italian. Acquiring even basic proficiency in another language requires commitment which means a willingness to attempt the weekly set homework, as well as regular attendance. Studying a foreign language may never enable you to converse like a native, but research has shown that it is a powerful weapon against dementia, stimulating your brain in ways other mental activities cannot. We not only study one of the world’s most beautiful languages but also immerse ourselves in the rich culture of Italy.
Our classes are on-going and are held in school term time only. Some of my advanced class have been studying with me for 10 years.
This will be the last intake of new students I will be offering and places are limited.

Redland Reads Book Club: Consider yourself kissed

Join the book club! Meet with fellow literature lovers and enjoy great conversation together. New members welcome.
Book of the month: Consider Yourself Kissed
A literary love story told through ten years in the life of one woman as she tries to build a longed-for family without also losing herself -- an entertaining portrayal of the true, grown-up meaning of "happily ever after." When she first meets Adam, Coralie is new to London and feeling adrift. But Adam is clever, witty, and (he insists) a quarter inch taller than the average male. His charming four-year-old daughter only adds to his appeal. But ten years on, something important is missing from the life Coralie and Adam have built. Or maybe, having gained everything she dreamed of, Coralie has lost something else she once had: herself. Set against an eventful British decade that included the soap opera of five prime ministers plus the chaos of the pandemic, Consider Yourself Kissed puts the subjects of love and family on a grand stage, showing how…

Community events
Don’t miss the amazing October exhibition “Genesis – Time for a New Beginning” at Old SchoolHouse Gallery by members Hilary Wakeling and Lenore Robbins along with their guest, ceramic artist Sue Moyle. When Lennore thinks of Genesis she thinks of “Looking forward, searching for new stimulation, new ideas, firmly grounded in what has come before.” Her "Genesis" is to find greater freedom to be expressive, to be bolder and more explorative, incorporating different textures and a combination of brushstrokes that require her to be less timid and more explosive. “Not only an artistic journey but a personal exploration of who I would like to be.” And when Hilary thinks of Genesis, “I think not just of the beginning but also the idea of restarting and beginning again, of renewal and fresh starts.

About the book:
In Mischance Creek, Hirsch is checking firearms. The regular police audit: all weapons secured, ammo stored separately, no unauthorised person with keys to the gun safe. He’s checking people, too. The drought is hitting hard in the mid-north, and Hirsch is responsible for the welfare of his scattered flock of battlers, bluebloods, loners and miscreants.
He isn’t usually called on for emergency roadside assistance. But with all the other services fully stretched, it’s Hirsch who has to grind his way out beyond the Mischance Creek ruins to where some clueless tourist has run into a ditch.
As it turns out, though, Annika Nordrum isn’t exactly a tourist. She’s searching for the body…

Community events
Don’t miss the amazing October exhibition “Genesis – Time for a New Beginning” at Old SchoolHouse Gallery by members Hilary Wakeling and Lenore Robbins along with their guest, ceramic artist Sue Moyle. When Lennore thinks of Genesis she thinks of “Looking forward, searching for new stimulation, new ideas, firmly grounded in what has come before.” Her "Genesis" is to find greater freedom to be expressive, to be bolder and more explorative, incorporating different textures and a combination of brushstrokes that require her to be less timid and more explosive. “Not only an artistic journey but a personal exploration of who I would like to be.” And when Hilary thinks of Genesis, “I think not just of the beginning but also the idea of restarting and beginning again, of renewal and fresh starts. The idea that all is not lost, that we can start again and the possibility that this time it will be better, this time we will succeed.” In this collection of paintings Hilary has incorporated patterned texture, along…

Community events
There is no tuition fee for this weekly class apart from a small weekly venue hire. As the title of this course suggests, this course assumes you have little or no knowledge of Italian. Acquiring even basic proficiency in another language requires commitment which means a willingness to attempt the weekly set homework, as well as regular attendance. Studying a foreign language may never enable you to converse like a native, but research has shown that it is a powerful weapon against dementia, stimulating your brain in ways other mental activities cannot. We not only study one of the world’s most beautiful languages but also immerse ourselves in the rich culture of Italy.
Our classes are on-going and are held in school term time only. Some of my advanced class have been studying with me for 10 years.
This will be the last intake of new students I will be offering and places are limited.

Italian For Absolute Beginners
Community events
There is no tuition fee for this weekly class apart from a small weekly venue hire. As the title of this course suggests, this course assumes you have little or no knowledge of Italian. Acquiring even basic proficiency in another language requires commitment which means a willingness to attempt the weekly set homework, as well as regular attendance. Studying a foreign language may never enable you to converse like a native, but research has shown that it is a powerful weapon against dementia, stimulating your brain in ways other mental activities cannot. We not only study one of the world’s most beautiful languages but also immerse ourselves in the rich culture of Italy.

Craft Your Ritual – Choose Your Sacred Ceramic Creation
Community events
A Pottery & Intention-Setting Workshop with Diane
Step into a space of creativity, magic, and personal ritual as you shape and decorate your own sacred ceramic piece. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll be guided through a grounding and expressive process — choosing between two meaningful projects designed to enrich your spiritual practice and space:
Option 1: Create an Incense Holder Ritual Kit
Craft a beautiful, hand-built ceramic incense holder and complete your own ritual kit with a sage smudge stick and abalone shell. You’ll learn texturing and decorative techniques including underglazing, stamping, tissue transfer, and sgraffito (a carving method that adds rich detail and depth). Your finished piece will be both functional and symbolic — a tool for intention-setting, cleansing, and personal ceremony.
Option 2: Design a Tarot Card Ceramic Tile
Decorate a 20cm x 15cm ceramic tile inspired by the symbolism of tarot. Choose from provided card templates or bring your own design to carve, underglaze, and…

Community events
Don’t miss the amazing October exhibition “Genesis – Time for a New Beginning” at Old SchoolHouse Gallery by members Hilary Wakeling and Lenore Robbins along with their guest, ceramic artist Sue Moyle. When Lennore thinks of Genesis she thinks of “Looking forward, searching for new stimulation, new ideas, firmly grounded in what has come before.” Her "Genesis" is to find greater freedom to be expressive, to be bolder and more explorative, incorporating different textures and a combination of brushstrokes that require her to be less timid and more explosive. “Not only an artistic journey but a personal exploration of who I would like to be.” And when Hilary thinks of Genesis, “I think not just of the beginning but also the idea of restarting and beginning again, of renewal and fresh starts. The idea that all is not lost, that we can start again and the possibility that this time it will be better, this time we will succeed.” In this collection of paintings Hilary has incorporated patterned texture, along…

There is something about long, hot summer days that stirs our emotions. It's all about holidays, festivals, family and Christmas; a time for swimming, a hit of backyard cricket or firing up the barbie. It's the deafening sound of cicadas, the ticking of a backyard sprinkler, the pain of a wayward bindi or the sting of sunburnt shoulders.
In this collection of nostalgic stories that will make you laugh and make you cry, William McInnes recalls moments in time and memories of summers past. He takes us back to the energy-sapping heat of Redcliffe in the…

During October Old SchoolHouse Gallery will be supporting 'Pink October' by raising money for the Creative Express Art Therapy Group who support women with breast cancer. The Group meets once a month at the Mater Redlands Conference Centre.
The Group was started in 2010 by Clancy Follet, who was undergoing treatment for breast cancer, a good friend of hers and a breast care nurse. The Group aims to create a caring community while making colourful bags and other artwork they sell at hospitals and markets to raise money to keep the group going and Clancy says to “give back to ‘chicksinpink’ and the Mater Foundation who initially sponsored the group and who have done so much to help women with breast cancer”.
As Clancy says, “the group links people with a common problem- breast cancer- in a friendly and creative atmosphere so something positive can come out of a negative experience”.

Book of the month: Sipsworth
Over the course of a single week, a woman who is ready to die discovers an unexpected reason to live.
Following the deaths of her husband and son, Helen Cartwright returns to the English village of her childhood after living abroad for six decades. Her only wish is to die quickly and without fuss.
Helen retreats into her home on Westminster Crescent, becoming a creature of routine and habit. Then, one cold autumn night, a chance encounter with an abandoned pet mouse on the street outside her house sets Helen on a surprising journey of friendship.
Sipsworth is a reminder that there can be second chances. No matter what we have planned for ourselves, sometimes the world has plans of its own. Simon Van Booy’s lyrical storytelling is a delight even as it will fill your heart.

Community events
There is no tuition fee for this weekly class apart from a small weekly venue hire. As the title of this course suggests, this course assumes you have little or no knowledge of Italian. Acquiring even basic proficiency in another language requires commitment which means a willingness to attempt the weekly set homework, as well as regular attendance. Studying a foreign language may never enable you to converse like a native, but research has shown that it is a powerful weapon against dementia, stimulating your brain in ways other mental activities cannot. We not only study one of the world’s most beautiful languages but also immerse ourselves in the rich culture of Italy.
Our classes are on-going and are held in school term time only. Some of my advanced class have been studying with me for 10 years.
This will be the last intake of new students I will be offering and places are limited.
