Ollie and Sticks is OPEN!


After many months, some tears & tantrums, lots of hard work and very late nights we are excited to finally have the doors open at 
Ollie and Sticks.

First and foremost, we need to give a big THANK YOU to our beautiful friends, who encouraged, supported and helped us with the Ollie and Sticks journey so we could arrive at our destination.

Lots of hugs and kisses to ~ Jen, Patrick, Elsie, Joe, Anna, Neil and Julienne + so many wonderful words of encouragement from our neighbours in the Islington community.

Most of all, I would like to thank my incredibly talented, inspiring and loving partner Michael and Ollie the "Earl of Islington"(our puppy).

Without Michael's positive and "just do it" attitude the Ollie and Sticks dream would never have come to life in such a perfect way! 
I love you my beautiful Sticky, thank you xxx

Dynamic Life Drawing



Ollie and Sticks is proud to present Dynamic Life Drawing
 with Anna Jaaniste.

Commencing 3 July 2012 and running for 8 weeks, Anna's classes focus on the physical and sensual processes of perception and imagination through responsive mark-making.

With live models for inspiration, students will work through a series of explorative and experimental drawing exercises, listening to and responding to intuitive creative impulses.

Be prepared to learn new approaches, let go of expectations, tune in to your sensitivity and enjoy the process, in a supportive and energising environment.

Suitable for beginners or experienced.

Anna Jaaniste is a practicing artist and experienced teacher. She sees art making as an opportunity to explore and enjoy points of connection, movement and meaning in the world.

For more information or to book a place, contact Anna on 0431 977 358 or at annajaaniste@hotmail.com
