And on to the Northern Goldfields of WA (Wiluna)

Wiluna artist, Nyapurla Morgan carving a lino block. Basil has just returned from one of the longest trips we make each year. To get to Wiluna, we have to fly first to Perth for an overnight stop. Then it’s up with the birds to catch a Skipper’s plane the 1000kms north again (in the direction of Darwin, where we started) to this small gold-mining town, east of Meekatharra. This was our third workshop out here and each time Basil (or Mats, in 2010) has concentrated on printing full editions of reduction relief prints during the week with the artists. Tjukurba ends up with one exhausted visitor, one exhausted staff member and around 130 beautiful three or four-colour prints to sell. An example is reproduced above. They are for sale through Tjukurba Art Gallery in Wiluna.
