InterWEave ARTS
Grade 9 student Eli has been out learning through his interest in our local community. Eli is currently participating in an LTI at InterWEave ARTS and has shared a reflective journal entry about his learning.
I do art at InterWEave ARTS Centre; I have painted a volcano for at least two terms because I only got to go there every Monday.
My volcano painting is based on destruction. It is made to make you think.
I enjoyed drinking tea at InterWEave because it has vanilla chai which is my favourite cups of tea.
I enjoy meeting new people, usually I don’t need much company. I would rather be by myself at InterWEave . I also would like to be able to paint realistic scenes.

What does the Lapidary Club offer?
The Lapidary Club of Northern Tasmania is a not-for-profit club that provides an environment where people with an interest in fossicking for gemstones, rocks, fossils and jewellery-making can get together and share their interests and skills with each other. The club has up-to-date lapidary machines and equipment to facilitate cutting and crafting gemstones into beautiful, polished pieces. Field trips are offered to allow members to learn to fossick for gemstones such as Smokey Quartz, Petrified Wood/Fern, Sapphires, Topaz, Agate, minerals and fossils.
The club also produces the Launceston Gem and Mineral Show held annually in November at the Elphin Sports Centre
