Last Friday, The Press Gang printmaking group took time out to clean off their inky fingers, eat, drink (tea and coffee) and be merry. An end of term luncheon with gourmet-bring-a-plate was organised, and we took over the Artist’s Lounge, on the ground floor of Wallarobba.
The artist-come-foodies, had many dainty and delicious delectables on the menu, such as: empanadas and Spanish style pizza (served traditionally cold), tasty chicken salad sandwiches, super chocolatey and nutty fudge brownies, pretty miniature home-grown cucumbers, fresh home baked scones, jam and cream, raspberry coconut slice, and moist Simnel cake, of ancient English origin.
Artistic printmaking is intense and technical, with lots of problem solving and experimentation, so this was a welcome break.
If the art gig doesn’t work out, maybe forming a catering company could be the go?
P.S. The camera battery went flat (timing!) so here is a drawn picture, please use your imagination.
