My heart is full! I received a bundle of thankyou letters in the mail today from 40 year six students who traveled 180kms by bus from their regional school in Western Australia, to spend a wonderful morning in the studio with me. This is why Art Teachers are my favourite people. Art Teachers absolutely have a profound impact on the lives of young people. Thankyou to their Art teacher Nikki Van Rhyn for reaching out to me through email and finding a way to bring her entire class, including the Phys-Ed teacher and Music teacher to my studio. I am turning all these letters into a poster to hang in my studio to always remind me of the value of real life human experience. Country kids are so so inspiring!!!!

If you live in or near Perth, join @besteogan, myself and a host of WA Artists who are donating their artworks to raise funds to support the children of Turkey via the Turkish NGO ‘Cagdas Yasami Destekleme Dernegi’ (CYDD). CYDD stands for The Association for the Support of Contemporary Living. The organisation supports girls across Turkey, with a focus on poor rural areas, to obtain education, ultimately promoting gender equality. Due to the recent earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş and Southern Eastern Anatolia region, CYDD is now playing a key role in supporting the children affected by the aftermath of the recent earthquakes. All proceeds of Art Market will be given to CYDD. Details: Sunday 28th May from 10am to 3pm at The Beehive Montessori School in Cottesloe. Ox #earthquaketurkey

I love being an artist, especially the hours I spend in my studio being mindful… busy with my hands but focused and relaxed in my head. That connection between my hands, heart and head was encouraged in art class as a secondary student. Art teachers are some of my favourite people in the world. The art teachers who taught me were kind, funny and believed in me…I am not sure I’d be a practicing artist today without them. Art teachers really are key to imparting to our children how to be creative and innovative. They provide many different solutions to a problem while celebrating mistakes and experimentation. A great art teacher teaches a young person to be kind to themselves in life. Yesterday I spent the day sharing stories and clay knowledge with an eclectic group of art teachers thanks to The Art Education Association of Western Australia…they were all amazing and filled my inspiration cup! Thank you to a really special art teacher … #michellehorrocks for being the glue. #artteachersarethebest #loveartteachart #artteachersofinstagram #valueartteachers #sthildasgirlsschool #artedwa #artteachersofwa @handmade_by_horraz
