20EXE001: Bushwalking

Wed 28th Oct, starting at: 09:30 AM

Leader: Dot Radings, Venue: Class Suspended

The bushwalking group will meet in the carpark behind St Joseph's Church every Wednesday at 9.30, then will carpool to the start of the walk (about 20 min drive). Walks will generally be somewhere in the area between Lysterfield, Ferntree Gully, Mt Dandenong and Gembrook. Expect to walk about 6-8 km each week in a time of about 1 and a half hours. There will be some rough paths. The leader will carry a basic first aid kit.

20ART004: Calligraphy

Wed 28th Oct, starting at: 10:00 AM

Leader: Nola Bianco, Venue: Zoom

Have you ever wanted to make beautiful lettering? If so, a calligraphy course is what you need. Learn how to use a broad nibbed dip pen to write in an Uncial hand (the type of lettering that was used by the monks to write the Book of Kells). Use these letters to enhance an envelope, gift tag, a place card, poetry or maybe a small book. Lessons every fortnight during the school term (with homework).

Wed 28th Oct, starting at: 10:00 AM

Leader: Paul Bianco, Venue: Zoom

Provide a forum for members keen on photography to initially learn how to operate their cameras, to further develop knowledge of photography basics and techniques and to share their experiences with others in mind. The sessions will include appreciation of images, workshops on camera functions, storage of files and digital imaging on the computer. There will also be presentations by members, by visitors and will include a number of field trips to gardens and at least one gallery.
