Sonja Georgeson’s excellent standing as an art teacher in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney was something I had long heard about from various friends and colleagues so I snapped up the chance to take a collagraph workshop with her when a friend handed me the flyer. It was one of those gifts from the gods that falls into your lap at just the right time.

I then discovered that this was in fact the last workshop Sonja would be running from her studio in Manly, as she was moving up to the Queensland hinterland early in the new year! Sad for us here in Sydney – great for you further north!
