Our 2 day, weekend activity for kids (8–12 years) was about developing skills in storytelling and image-making and at the same time, learning about the local habitat. In this case, local habitat meant a community garden in Randwick. The workshop was initiated and developed by our working unit, The Patch, sponsored by The City of Randwick and supported by The Shack Youth Services and the people of Randwick Community Organic Garden. A newspaper featuring their work will be launched in September.

For their sponsorship and support: The Randwick City Council. For the Randwick Community Organic Garden: Lauchlan Giddy, Jessica Perini and Richard Pang. For The Shack: Wade Mathias and Jennifer Cockburn-Hillis. For The Patch: Heidi Dokulil, Beatrice Chew, Su-An Ng, Richard Peters and myself. For those cameras: thank you to the people who donated their pre-owned digitals. For the screen printing: Stefan Kahn. For that lovely, crusty bread: Brasserie Bread and Bourke Street Bakery. For the Newsroom: Alice, Cameron, Derus, Dylan, Ethan, Gabriella, Harmani, Jade, Jessica and Madeleine. 

Some pictures from Saturday and Sunday follow. Read more at The Patch.

It’s nice to be asked once to design an arts magazine but a rare thing to be asked to also do the subsequent redesigns—two in all—the latest being June/July 2013, which is a fresh look at the design produced by Monika Domaschenz and myself in 2006. All page layouts shown are by Gail Priest.
