Hello Sandwiches.

What a lovely creative and crafty place Sydney has been these past few weeks! Here are a few pictures from the exhibitions and workshops I've been involved in lately. It's been so much fun!

One of the exhibitions, We Craft This City at Sydney's Object Gallery opened today and continues until 10th October so if you are in the area please pop in. They have free crafternoon and crafting powerhour workshops running throughout the week. You can even make one of these amazing vessels from plastic bags.

Thank you so much everyone for coming along to my papercraft workshop today. It was so lovely to create with you! And going to the Sydney screening of 'Making it Handmade' this evening was such a lovely way to end a creative crafty day! Pip you are amazing and I loved you in the documentary.

I also popped into The Papermill while I've been in Sydney where you can now buy my Tokyo Guide Zine and a whole bunch of other super cute zines. And isn't the new Gaffa Gallery location just amazing! Oooo if you are planning a trip to Sydney these are two places not to miss! Well Sandwiches, I'm off back to Tokyo next week so until then I'll be drinking enough Flat whites and eating enough mexican food to keep me going until my next Sydney trip.

Happy Weekend!

SAT 2ND OCT
OBJECT GALLERY 'WE CRAFT THIS CITY' EXHIBITION


Oooo I am so excited to be in the
We Craft This City exhibition! For one week, Object Gallery will become a live workshop and making space occupied by creative individuals and collectives. Produced by Kate Ford, We Craft This City is a celebration of DIY culture, weaving together craft process and social commentary. An intensive making period will mark the beginning of this gallery occupation, and you are invited to contribute to the outcome. Donate materials, learn and share skills, make and be merry.

Here is the little Hello Sandwich Craft Wall blurb:

Ebony Bizys’ ‘Hello Sandwich Craft Wall’ is a display of the various forms of craft Bizys engages in. The craft wall combines gift wrapping, artworks, paper craft, zines, paintings, drawings, Japanese mt washi tape illustrations, found objects, Japanese tanabata paper craft elements and collage.

The objects included in the ‘Hello Sandwich Craft Wall’ have been selected for their crafty and visual appeal. These items aim to showcase the various forms of current art and craft popular now. Many of the items were found in Tokyo where Bizys currently lives. The interesting part is the way in which all of the craft forms and found objects connect and relate to each other once combined in a ‘Craft Wall’ installation. In a way, it is like a visual map of the creative objects that inspire and inform Bizys’ creative world.

Bizys is interested in finding beauty in, a crafty use for, otherwise overlooked everyday objects. The ‘Hello Sandwich Craft Wall’ includes gift wrapping bows constructed out of kitchen cleaning sponges, collage works constructed from cardboard boxes, and various other craft items constructed from found objects. You might also spy a pattered paper chopstick holder sitting along side a drawing of the same chopstick holder.

Hanna and Hana Exhibition

Yesterday Hiki-chan and I saw the lovely 'Making a home' exhibition by Hanna and Hana at Biotape in Gakugeidaigaku. It was such a beautiful exhibition with finely delicate works painted with gouache in the most adorable colours. The two Han(n)a's made a series of complimenting works on the same subject on the same size paper. You can see an example of what I mean in this last picture above where the girls have taken the subject matter of a bird and each drawn it in their own original way. It's worth clicking on these girls websites for a peek at their other beautiful work.

The exhibition has left me inspired to get to work drawing and recording my daily life in Tokyo inside these new notebooks I bought from Itoya last week. Aren't they pretty notebooks!? I bought all of these for under ¥2000! P.S. If you love Japanese stationery, you'll love Justine's round up of Tokyo stationery shops.

Oh did I tell you I've joined the local gym here and started to do aerobics lessons (in Japanese!). Wow it's really like the water aerobics scene from lost in translation! I can't really understand much at all!

Yonkai!
Hidari!
Aruku!

Occasionally however, the instructor will call out something like 'stepu tachi' which is something like a 'step touch / tap'! And at one stage she glanced over to me when I was doing my mambo and called out 'Suteki!' so I think i must not be doing too bad! I'm happy to be taking aerobics classes in Japanese! It kind of kills two birds with the one stone, I can get fit and learn Japanese at the same time!

Also, there is a little interview about me over here at Daily Imprint *blush*. Special thanks to Real Living Magazine's Natalie for the sweet as pie words!

SANAA Starstruck!

Photobucket

I am a little starstruck after meeting Ryue Nishizawa from SANAA architects this week!

Photobucket

Do you remember my post on SANAA here?

Photobucket

Photobucket

Well the lovely Nishizawa-san came to Sydney for a one night super speedy stopover on Thursday night for an exhibition at Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation .

I was so lucky to be able to listen to his 1 hour special presentation about his favourite projects. He was so delightful and I could not wipe my smile from my face! I somehow gathered up enough courage to ask him for a photo and he very politely replied that my Japanese was very good! So sweet!

Photobucket

And - oh my goodness he signed my book (I am never using that pen again! )

If you are in Sydney be sure to see the exhibition!

I Just Can't Get Zines Out of My Mind!










...And posts like these aren't helping! (But secretly I love it!)

Anyway, how cute is this exhibition of zines seen at this delightful Edinburgh exhibition venue spotted on About Today Blog!



About Today is a blog by Lizzy Stewart who is a final year illustration student at Edinburgh College of Art. You can see more of Lizzy's work here.



Lizzy Stewart's zine can be viewed here or you can see all of the zines for sale at Story Motel.

Oh I reallllly can't wait to make my own zine one day! Have you made your own zine once before? It looks like such fun!
