□モンサルヴァット・アート・フェスティヴァル・工房一般公開

Montsalvat Arts Festival 2021

Sunday, 21 November 2021 | 10:00 AM to 05:00 PM

In celebration of our brilliant art and active community, Montsalvat opens our gates to an exciting day of outdoor activities, music, performances, open studio programs and workshops for all ages.

Monsalvat’s 24 studio artists will open their doors to provide you with the opportunity to meet with them, gain insight into their artistic process, and purchase some of their originals.

You will explore a diverse community of emerging to well-established artists, across various mediums and disciplines. Accompany us, be inspired and support each of our artist’s unique practice, ranging from painters, sculptors, ceramicists, photographers, jewellers, puppeteers, designers, textile and glass artists.

Arrive in the morning to see the delightful Callisto Strings perform as you enter through the Barn Gallery. Bring the whole family along and share a laugh with Tilly and The Big Funny Giant, performed and crafted by the Jesters Workshop at Montsalvat.

Unwind and relax into the afternoon and have a dance to our outdoor music line-up featuring The Experience, STAV. and Stefanía. With five exhibitions across our gallery spaces and an exclusive feature exhibition, Montsalvat: The Beginnings, we invite you to explore our vast collection and experience new stories of our local community.

Expect plenty of all-day festivities, including artist talks, Clay Talk ceramic workshops and kids craft activities, all set within the wondrous 12 acres of Montsalvat’s beautiful gardens and heritage buildings.

Come and capture the warmth of the spring season. Explore our event website for ticketing information and further details of our program.

■5days Summer Workshop at Sturt Contemporary Craft Centre in Mittagong NSW
□ミッタゴンのSTURTにて、5日間集中サマーワークショップ開催

In this Summer Workshop, I will focus mainly on TWO things.

ONE  is to navigate you to find your own form. I will discuss with each student their ‘current’ form and then the student will be guided to discover their new form by doing section throwing, assembling, making collages on paper, and creating paper vessels.

We will visit Sturt Pottery’s permanent collection cottage on Day1 and discuss vessels form and techniques for your warm-up.  

My SECOND  focus will be on observing your ‘current’ skills, and teaching you further throwing skills meticulously, in order to take you to the next level. It does not matter what shape you are making, I want you to challenge taller, wider, and finer piece in this workshop.

This is my first ever long-hours workshop, which gives me abundant time to teach you & discuss about the many aspects of pottery. All students will be invited to the Artist tutor’s visual presentation talk after the classes. I am planning to talk about my journey as a potter, and experience of Artist-In-Residency in Arita, Japan. 

For those interested in my 5 days intensive throwing workshop from 5th Jan to 9th Jan in 2022, please register your interest  HERE . Alternatively, please contact Pheobe at Sturt Contemporary Craft Centre.

2022年の1月4日から9日まで5日集中で磁器の轆轤ワークショップを行います。コロナ禍の為、人数制限がございますので、ご希望の方は早めにお申込みください。尚、現時点では全く手付金なしで申し込むことが可能です。

お問い合わせは、Sturt Craft Contemporay CentreのPheobeさんまで。

■Peacocks are coming to my studio!
□孔雀が工房に!

I hope everyone is handling new iso-life style well by now. My routine has not changed much (except I have to do homeschooling for my child – which takes lots of my ‘day’time) as I have an access to my studio at Montsalvat in Eltham VIC. One of their famous creature is peacocks. I had 3 female peacocks wanted to come inside of my studio. I wonder what they are interested…although there aren’t any food I keep in my studuo?

自粛生活に皆様もう慣れたころでしょうか?私の日常は、子供のホームスクールを除けば、さほど変わらず、工房にて制作を続けています。今日はモンサルヴァットの有名な孔雀たちが工房を訪れました。食べ物、何も置いていないのに、何に興味があったのかな?

■Moving my studio from NSW to VIC
□NSW州からVIC州へ工房をお引越し

Keiko Matsui Studio MontsalvatI never thought that I would move to Melbourne although I always loved Melbourne, one of the most livable cities in the world.

After many sleepless nights and tears from sorting and packing my cluttered studio in Umina Beach NSW, I managed to move my studio to Montsalvat in Eltham VIC, which is approximately 35 min drive from CBD in Melbourne.

Montsalvat is the an oldest artist colony in Australia, established by Justus Jörgensen in 1934. It is home to over a dozen buildings, houses and halls set amongst richly established gardens on 48,562 m2 (12 acres) of land.

My studio is located right behind the Barn Gallery, opposite the fountain of bronze baby. I am extremely pleased that I became part of this creative artists community and very excited to continue my art practice from 2020.

まさか世界で最も住みやすい街に何度も選ばれたメルボルンに工房を構えるとは、夢にも思っていませんでした。

ユマイナビーチの工房の魔のパッキングの日々を経て、何とかメルボルンに引越しすることができました。工房は、街中から35分程北東にあるエルサムという場所のモンサルヴァトという所です。

モンサルヴァトはオーストラリアで最も古いアーティスト達のコミュニティーで、1934年にジャスタス・ジョーゲンセン氏が設立しました。12エーカーの広い土地には、多くのヨーロピアン建築と家々、アーティスト達の工房、そして美しく手入れされた庭が広がっています。

私の工房はBarm Galleryの直ぐ後ろの、ブロンズの赤ちゃんの泉の真向かいにあります。この様な歴史ある場所に工房を構えることができたのは、非常に幸運な事でまるで夢の様です。これから、このクリエイティブな環境で制作していけることに心を躍らせています。

I will be opening my studio to the public once I have settled. If you need to visit me, please contact me to info@keikomatsui.com.au

少し落ち着きましたら、工房を一般公開しようと思っております。もし、ご旅行等時間が限られた方で、どうしても工房に来たいというお客様はEメール(info@keikomatsui.com.au ) にてご連絡ください。
